: Ambassador Girls Empowering Girls in the Field (Evaluation)Background of the EngineerGirl Ambassadors programThe purpose of the Ambassadors program is to develop a cadre of young women currentlyenrolled in high school who are equipped to engage middle school youth in engineering. TheAmbassador program is an extension of the programming developed and disseminated throughthe EngineerGirl website. The website was developed in 2001 as a mechanism for engagingyoung women in engineering and for providing them resources for understanding how to followan educational and career path in engineering. It was originally developed (and, in 2012,upgraded) with guidance from a Girls Advisory Board. The website evolved by adding an

current research literature, identity is constructed in differentways. In engineering contexts identity has primarily been studied in undergraduate students andadults, in the contexts of career choices and retention of students within programs [5]. Sfard andPrusak [6] propose an idea of identity that is shaped around narratives. They posit that identitiesare the stories individuals and the people around them tell about themselves. Identities havemany facets, authors, and audiences. Self-perpetuating narratives of success and failure shapeidentity. Institutional narratives, such as success and failure in the school setting, are particularlyinfluential over the way a student may think about their identity [6]. Often, youth have troubledefining what

Through these weekly sessions, students connect with each other and withtheir faculty cohort mentor, learning to support each other through challenging times,developing a growth mindset towards their academic journey, understanding barriers that leadto equity gaps in STEM such as stereotype threat and imposter syndrome, and building a senseof belonging and self-efficacy. The seminar allows participants to explore co-curricularopportunities (e.g., student clubs), campus resources such as disability services and financial aidoffices, and career preparation, while
