Variations of this program has been offered for 15 years andhave reached over 3,000 girls. The new curriculum, using e-textiles, was implemented in thesummer 2014 program. The evaluation of the curriculum was done through observations of thee-textile sessions, feedback from the participants, and information gathered in participant'sengineering notebooks. The evaluation offered is primarily anecdotal, though participantfeedback and notebook analysis is compiled into quantitative data.

The applicants were first arranged into two groups, target and non-targetapplicants. Each pool was then ranked against others in that pool.
