Espinosa’s8 research revealed that females were more likely to enrollin and persist through collegiate STEM programs if they had the opportunity to engage with theirpeers and participate in STEM-related student organizations, and if they were made aware ofaltruistic career opportunities. The findings from the study called for developing cohort STEMprograms that provide female students with a greater sense of community, increasing the numberof student organizations related to STEM fields (e.g., Society of Women Engineers), andproviding female students with

The Pew Research Center did a survey in 2017 and found that 52% of thesurveyed adults agree that the STEM-based curriculum for today’s youth (around 21%-24%) wastoo hard for them [5]. These courses normally became hard between the ages of thirteen toseventeen [6]. Other reasons included that STEM education did not relate to their career goals orit did not catch their interest.
