Testaments from past participantsand counselors depict the experience as inspirational and positively transforming perceptions ofSTEM. Participants have pursued STEM degrees, including graduate degrees, and workedprofessionally as engineers after attending the camp.This paper presents the best practices, challenges, and successes of the camp as it has adapted tonew generations of participants and advances in engineering and technology.

Girls are attentive tothe behaviors that women in their culture engage in and thus feel efficacious in and model thosebehaviors[6]. Girls’ attitudes regarding scientists and engineers have been influenced by the lackof female representation in the media, and with this absence of role models, many girls tend toview science and technology an unsuitable career choice and personally irrelevant to their lives.One way to alleviate these concerns is to expose students to role models, specifically females todispel stereotype threat for young women, in math and science [6-10], or in general – STEMProfessionals.
