Jeffers et al. states, “Two primary factors why today’s K-12students are shying away from engineering are a limited understanding of the engineeringprofession and the loss of interest in science and mathematics”6. It is with these twofactors in mind that this after-school outreach program has been maintained and the workin this paper compiled.
