Withmomentum from the 2020 Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) program year,NSBE was able to secure funding that enabled the program to grow participation, create newpartnerships that allowed expansion to middle school, and integrate the SEEK program into thesummer school curriculum of a large public school system. SEEK is generally the firsttouchpoint participants have to the National Society of Black Engineers and, for many, their firstexposure to engineering concepts.Since 2007, the program has served more than 24,000 students. In Summer 2021, the virtualformat created the opportunity for students all over the world to benefit from the program, andstudents from 42 U.S. states and six other

This suggests that a multifaceted approach to implementing engineeringcourses at the high school level which includes curriculum as well as human connections is seenas a benefit by administrators. Administrators also refer to the coursework and teacher actions assupporting the goal of broadening participation by speaking about specific engineering projectsthat engage a variety of learners, mostly through the type of project employed within the course.Finally, the administrators identified potential barriers to implementing engineering programs ontheir campus, with most barriers relating to teacher staffing issues, such as the

We drew on the evidence from studies that showed how training leadsto an increase in confidence and subsequently results in an increase in technology adaptation inclassrooms[17].
