For instance,Nieusma and Riley [2] use two case studies to illuminate ways in which problematic assumptionsabout technology’s role in community development can impede social justice goals. One casestudy examined a Product Entrepreneurship course in partnership with two Nicaraguanuniversities. Despite a strong faculty effort to frame the project educationally around processrather than product, emphasis on product prevailed as students’ preconceived assumptions aboutthe value of product over process were not challenged consistently enough, and structuralinfluences like funder interests reinforced the emphasis on

It is important that studentsare exposed and introduced to STEM content early on in the educational “pipeline” to ensure thatthey are interested in pursuing STEM-related degrees at the collegiate level. It is important tonote that while STEM exposure early on in the pipeline is important, it does not ensure that allstudents, in particular underrepresented minorities, will end up in a STEM related field. It isessential to take into account sociocultural factors that might affect and alter the journey throughthe pipeline for minority students 2 ; some of these factors might include unequal access to STEMopportunities and classes, as well as the White male stereotypical depiction of
