Science Foundation (NSF, Grant #1742618). We focus on preliminary analysis on theimpact of “Fab Friday,” the centerpiece of our SSTEM program. Fab Friday was an on-campus,semester-long hackathon where our fabulous scholars worked in teams on Friday afternoonsto fabricate computing solutions for real world projects and challenges presented by communityand industry partners. CS faculty also participated as project mentors. Fab Friday was created toenhance the SSTEM Scholars’ social capital, defined as the information and resources generatedthrough one’s social relationships and social networks [1].1.2 The SSTEM Program as the Context for Fab FridayOur SSTEM program created cohorts of students who were called SSTEM Scholars.
