engineering withmarginalized identities navigate their workplace cultures, specifically looking at howthey can authentically be themselves. The data shown within this presentation werecollected as part of a larger NSF-funded study qualitatively assessing themanifestation of racism within the technology industry.From literature, we know that Black engineers leave their workplaces at a higher ratethan White engineers. This is largely due to the toxic workplace environments definedby White men that are unwelcoming for minoritized people [1], [2]. With this work,we intend to understand their experiences and combat racism in tech. The narrativesshared by the participants will provide a depiction of what is occurring in tech. Theintention of this is to

project wasdemonstrated using a cup of hot water, and Stirling engine. The project description involvedmeasurements, energy in nature and various energy conversion technologies. To demonstrate the heatenergy, water was heated in a kettle or in a microwave oven and then the hot water was placed in a mugor cup which was then placed beneath the Stirling engine. After a couple of seconds, the wheel on theStirling engine began to rotate due to the temperature difference. For those whose wheels did not rotatethey were told to give the wheel a slight push for it to gain a little momentum and if the wheel still did notrotate, students were asked to place ice block on top of the wheel to increase the temperature difference.Figure 3 shows students

and rewards students for pursuing a deeper understanding of math concepts and theirapplications in science, technology, and engineering (STEM) fields.MATHCOUNTS was designed for 6th-8th graders. Each fall when the school semester begins,the participating schools register with the national MATHCOUNTS office and assign a coach,usually a math teacher or sometimes a volunteer parent, to lead math club activity either afterschool or during the 7th period of the school schedule. The coach receives the annualMATHCOUNTS School Handbook [2] and the previous year competition materials [3] to trainstudents on topics and problem solving skills usually not covered in school math classes. Thetopics include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, number theory, and
