Invention Bootcamp at Portland State University. Invention Bootcamp is a four-week summer camp designed to expose high school students to the invention process and thereby stimulate their interest in attending college to prepare for a career in STEM and entrepreneurship. The camp serves 25 students that are recruited with help from Oregon MESA, and actively seeks participants from populations traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Eight undergraduate engineering and computer science students are near-peer mentors and technical problem-solvers for the camp participants. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com

One study found that FGS are often not adequately informedabout STEM educational pathways and career opportunities [13]. However, according to Ma[14], students from low socioeconomic status (SES) families (measured by parental educationlevel, occupation, and income) are more likely than high SES students to choose careers that payhigher incomes, such as STEM majors. After controlling for race, ability, family income andgender, first-generation students are more likely to choose engineering than non-first-generationstudents [15], likely selecting these majors as they offer a clear and potentially stable andfinancially attractive career
