Conferencewith expert-led online sessions and in-person (or virtual) collaborative group activities to ignitethe passion for STEM among middle- and high schoolers (Figure 4).In-person workshops enriched with immersive experiments and hands-on projects solidifytheoretical knowledge and connect it to real-world applications, inspiring participants to envisionexciting STEM career opportunities. To ensure equal access to resources, each student willreceive a customized STEM kit.The advantages of a hybrid STEM camp are manifold. For one, it bridges the gap between virtualand in-person participants, fostering collaboration and networking among students from differentgeographical locations, including those from various countries and regions, thereby enriching

Specifically, when I wasworking on strength-based projects”.Conducting strengths-based projects demands time allocation, as it requires the faculty to workindividually with each participant, provide feedback to each project, and meet with students.The large enrollment of the class and the limited teaching assistant resources are obstacles tointegrating this activity in the course for all students.It was observed in the second cohort of offering the SBP project (spring 2021) that more studentswith poor performance in the midterm exams signed up

Doing so by educating others on gender issues in STEMand supporting resources which aim to directly impact achieving gender equity. The persistenceof women in STEM in higher education and the STEM workforce has been on the rise but thereare many more strides to make. In 1986, the Douglass Women in Science and Engineeringprogram was established at Douglass College, a women’s college at Rutgers University, toencourage women to study, explore, and pursue careers in mathematics, the sciences, andengineering.

Students often begin with a foreign language due to a one yearlanguage requirement (like at URI), but then they do not continue beyond the first year.
