Students also acquire a meaningful understanding ofthe engineering design process, and particularly its iterative nature. The communitycontextualization has been observed to provide further benefits by making the relevance ofSTEM a central feature of the student engagement. Further study is needed to determine if thisalso facilitates communication between students, families, and community members, positioningthese students as STEM ambassadors able to relate the value of engineering to their community.References1Kosovich,J.

The study also concluded thatgirls, although not limited in their ability, need positive mentor or instructor support to overcomeingrained stereotypes (Stoeger et al., 2013). The gender gap in this study may have been closeddue to the STEM focused school culture, various kinds of activities at school in addition to theSTEM extracurricular clubs.Table 3: The impact of gender on STEM perception based on STEM club enrollment p<0.05 Gender Sig.
