This may be due to the lack of role models and networking opportunities in STEMcareers and even belief from parents and teachers that students with disabilities cannot besuccessful in STEM (Hawley, Cardoso & McMahon, 2013; Martin, Stumbo, & Collins, 2011).As such, students with disabilities are less likely to enroll and be successful in STEM courses inhigh school (Hawley et al., 2013; Martin et al., 2011). Lack of exposure to STEM careers andcourses may ultimately lead to a lack of interest. Additionally, this may contribute to limitedskill development, not due to lack of aptitude, rather due to lack of exposure and opportunities.As previously

Theglobal need for STEM major is evident but how can we attract more students into STEM fields?Numerous studies5,6,7,8,9 have shown that exposing students to STEM fields early in theireducation is the best time to increase their interest for science, engineering, and technology.Furthermore, students in an early age may have the wrong perception of what professionals inthose fields do10. Usually, for example, they associate engineering with just building or fixingthings8 or a profession for people who are good in math. Not having a clear picture of the widerange of possibilities after going into those fields, may discourage students from willing topursue an engineering or science degree for a career. Studies
