After they were enrolled, studentswere sent a message from the course instructor explaining why they were enrolled in the pilotEngineering Math course and the expected benefits of completing the course. The tone of themessaging was especially important for several reasons: the course was not included in anyengineering degree planning flowcharts, was not a required course for any engineering major,and required that students take Engineering Math in addition to Pre-Calculus their first semester.1 Of note, 10 years ago, CU Boulder’s engineering college did not offer a Pre-Calculus course. Studentswho were not deemed ready for Calc 1 were simply denied entrance into the college. Yet

The participants should be required to pre-read the materials and to complete pre-workshopactivities to explore their own problems. Also, workshop leaders should communicate the entirecourse content to the participants in advance of the workshop, allowing for modifications.

In this firstsummer of camps and data collection, we learned about the types of students that roboticsprograms attract. Most already have very high interest in STEM subjects. This coming summer,we will recruit more students with no previous robotics experience and lower STEM interest.Then, it will be possible to measure whether the program has a positive impact on STEMinterest, thus addressing one of our research questions.In terms of the research question about engagement, building was the most engaging activity formost students last summer
