Thus, middleschoolers and high schoolers are at the prime age for being influenced into STEM fields.This is just a pilot study and evaluation for the first year in the seven year project. In future work,the researchers will collect quantitative and qualitative data from future summer camps andanalyze the data concurrently in a mixed methods research design. This will help increase ourunderstanding of student interest and motivation in STEM as well as the factors influencing thisinterest.

“Technology Literacy: How StuffWorks.”14 An example of the impact of these types of courses is that pre-service elementaryteachers lowered anxiety, increased perceived value, and increased motivation for science andtechnology.Union College has directly addressed the perceived (or actual) gap between engineering and theliberal arts and have proposed a Converging Technology paradigm to address this gap.15 Theyask the two important questions about this discontinuity. “Can we continue to produce liberalarts graduates who have little understanding of the technical world in which they live? Can weafford to produce engineers with little understanding of implications of those technologies forthe world?” They offer the following definition of technological

session. There are opportunities for continuedinteraction with students during reference and research consultation services. Librarians whoparticipate in student clubs, research expos, or practice embedded librarianship are able to buildmeaningful connections with students to provide research and academic support. Therefore, ILcurricula should be carefully and frequently evaluated for excessive materials. Librarians shouldrefrain from the urge to teach everything in a single session. Instead, they should consider theapproach to ‘microlearning’ or bite-sized learning. This approach to microlearning is a part ofthreshold concepts, which are the basis for ACRL framework [1]. Threshold concepts “are thoseideas in any discipline that are passageways
