minority girls think aboutSTEM and to unveil careers in STEM, especially engineering, they might not have otherwiseconsidered. The framework of our mixed-methods study is socio-cultural and critical race theorywith a feminist perspective. Most of the data analysis tools are qualitative but some surveys arealso conducted. In its first year, we saw what we believe to be a fear response from the girls ingrades 4-5. During both the in-class and the staged interviews the teachers and coordinatorsinfluenced students to give the “right answers.” We believe this behavior has the same roots asthat of the girls: a fear of failure. In this case the teachers are trying to mitigate the girls’ failure.Because our second-year curriculum has a strong engineering
