However,fulfilling these roles will be challenging due to the lack of early access, STEM inspired educationfor underrepresented students, and the growing lack of interest in STEM careers [1], [2]. Thus, itbecomes immensely important to introduce students to these fields during their elementary andsecondary education, to

SHPE’s Virtual STEM Labs: Engaging and inspiring Hispanic youth to pursue STEM degrees and careers.Background/MotivationSolving the world’s most pressing and complex issues, including the recent pandemic, climateand environmental challenges, and sustainable economic development, is dependent on scientificinnovation. This need is reflected in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) occupation growth which has increased 79% since 1990 and is projected to grow by10.8 percent by 2031 [1]. To meet these labor market demands, the United States hasconsistently invested over $500 million dollars in STEM education specifically since 2019 withan emphasis on programs that increase participation of

practiced in real-world settings, educators need to constructopportunities for youth to learn about the socially engaged nature of engineering. Educators canseek to create just and equitable classrooms by cultivating in teachers a critical consciousness ofsocial justice and its role in engineering (Shuster & Giesemann, 2021). This consciousness canbe developed by tying the interactions of classroom life (i.e., talk, texts, technologies) to largerissues of engineering in society. This involves the recognition that engineering is mediated by‘ideologies, beliefs about learning’ and is encoded in ‘representations, spaces and socialpractices’ of the learning environment and of the broader societal context in which engineering ispracticed (Gravel et
