Technology, only 25% of engineering degrees, includingBachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D., were awarded to women in US institutions [1]. Theunderrepresentation of women in engineering may be due to a lack of diversity when recruitingstudents, as well as the fact that women have higher attrition rates than their men peers, so-called“the leaky pipeline” [2, 3, 4].Many studies have attempted to understand this high attrition rate of women students inengineering careers. Some suggest that women students have fewer opportunities to develop theirengineering interests or chances to be recognized as engineers compared with their mencounterparts [5, 6, 7, 8, 9].

Hands-on,project-based learning has been shown to get more students engaged with STEAM and help themlearn key skills for the future [2]. However, most STEAM education programs target students inupper-middle or high school [3].
