This paper illustrates the creation and implementation of an innovative approach to developalgorithmic reasoning and computational thinking with two popular programming languages, Cand Python for middle school female students by using a hands-on, application-oriented approach.The research questions for this study are: 1) What factors are involved in identifying STEM-confidence in middle-school female students when learning in a female-only STEM learning environment? 2) How are Femineer® students developing algorithmic reasoning or computational thinking through participation in this Innovative Coding curriculum?This curriculum will become part of the Femineer

. Can authoring an open source, case-based assignment (instead of a traditional term paper) capture self identity and lived experiences, create a stronger sense of agency in learners, and increase “stickiness” of the knowledge? 2. Can working collaboratively with other learners personalize the knowledge absorption process and build team based skills? 3. Does access to open educational resources facilitate integration of sustainability or social justice concepts into the engineering curriculum?This research discovered that student motivation is significantly improved through projects that extendbeyond the academic environment, particularly those that align with their interests in sustainability goals.Moreover

intriguing was the fact that even students that were awarded competitive academic scholarships (top grades and very high SAT scores) left their respective engineering programs after their first year, expressing anxiety with core engineering course (calculus) affecting their ability to maintain their required GPA and thus result in loss of their scholarship [4]. Consequently, there is a need to develop a first-year engineering curriculum that takes into consideration the diverse academic, social, cultural, and economic backgrounds of an incoming class of students. Although academically well prepared, today’s student lack the discipline to be individually responsible for the largely self-directed study required in college [5
