The goals of the program, which includeincreasing the diversity of participating students, have not changed over the course ofimplementation. However, the recruitment strategies and program activities have evolved duringthe course of this project. Our best practices for inspiring minority students in STEM werebelieved to be:  Hands-on experiences completing real science and engineering projects;  Working in peer based teams for the solution of projects;  On-going support and encouragement from the instructor;  Real world examples

Laboratory experiments areuseful in teaching students skills needed for employment, and to reinforce theoretical conceptsintroduced during lectures. However, the students sometimes do not receive timely feedbackbecause it is extremely time-consuming for the instructors to grade the hands-on exercises. Thestudents usually do not have the opportunities to fix the mistakes they made in previous labs dueto lack of timely feedback. These challenges were addressed by the creation of an automatedgrading and feedback system, called BroadReach Extended, for locally designed hands-onexercises in Information Technology (IT) courses.

They foundthis and other demonstrations to be very engaging and entertaining and better for conceptretention. Furthermore, students felt demos were more valuable than laboratory sessionsincluded in the course curriculum.
