as such skills have shown to correlate to later success in an engineering career.However, research has shown that the current learning environment has not been conducive inlearning spatial skills, especially for women, gender minorities, and socioeconomicallydisadvantaged students. This phenomenon can contribute to the stubbornly consistent pattern oflow representation and participation of these minoritized students in engineering. Our projectstrives to address this practical gap by leveraging the technology of augmented reality/virtualreality (AR/VR) to create tools that can facilitate learning and development of spatial skillsamong these students. Specifically, we aim for such tools to help reduce cognitive load, providemore expansive

. 2We currently run several summer bridge programs for incoming,engineering students at the University of Colorado. Historically, we ranoutreach programs for K-12 youth in the state of Colorado. Theseranged from one week programs to six week programs, and whenstarted the goal of these programs was to increase interest in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Though these programswere popular we didn’t see many of these students apply to theUniversity of Colorado when they got to that stage. When theleadership of the BOLD (Broadening Opportunity through Leadership andDiversity) Center shifted, more emphasis was placed on using theseprograms as a recruitment tool and they were ultimately cancelled dueto not recruiting students to CU
