Regardless of how they were first introduced, allparticipants sought to take an introductory ML/AI course in university. Some suggested that theculture in introductory courses makes it difficult to engage with the material. For instance, thiswoman-identifying participant shared that the male-dominated nature of one ML/AI coursecontributed to feelings of imposter syndrome that prevented her from asking questions in class: Gender stereotypes contribute oftentimes to

Faculty at all institutions are obviously recruited from thePhD granting institutions and consequently have typically spent four or more years conductingadvanced research usually on grant money, have authored papers and reports based on theirwork, and therefore enter the academic world already aware of, and presumably now able toexecute on their own, similar projects.However, other factors come in to play. Some new hires in non-PhD granting programs arespecifically drawn to such schools because they are more interested in teaching what they knowto undergraduates than they are in directing graduate students in research work.

creatingprogramming for these events is the ability to adapt research for young students with a widerange of engineering backgrounds. Adding to the complexity, engineers are not trained teachers,therefore outreach events can often contain overly complex activities that do not take a student’sdexterity or comprehension skills into consideration. Understanding students’ abilities andinterests are critical to developing pre-college curricula that are engaging for a variety ofstudents. In this project, we present findings from an observational study conducted at acommunity-focused outreach event with over 200 participants.
