Though the United States is in a demographic shift with an increasingpopulation of ethnic minorities, they remain heavily underrepresented in the science andengineering fields2. In order to decrease this gap within the growing population, the countrywould need to increase the number of underrepresented students pursuing engineering by three-fold1. Researchers suggest that one way to meet this demand and increase the pipeline of womenand minorities is to focus on K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)preparatory programs2.
