Directly, studentsdisengage, learn less effectively, and lose interest in STEM careers. Engaging Ghanaian studentsin hands-on activities can, however, significantly counter these negative effects [2,3]. Byextension, rote memorization results in minimal technological innovation that Ghanaians canpoint to with pride as a local output. This falsely perpetuates the negative global narrative aroundwhat capabilities young Africans possess. The concept of stereotype threat has been used tounderstand how students who are viewed poorly because of their identity

The goal of the project isto identify, evaluate, classify and distribute resources (via a web site) for STEMeducators (grades K-12) wishing to incorporate community service or hands-on learninginto their curriculum in order to encourage students to pursue careers in these fields. Byhelping students to “make the connections” between STEM subjects and real-worldissues, these strategies are expected to increase student interest in STEM disciplines,enrich learning experiences for students, and enhance the skills of STEM educators onthe content and application of STEM subjects.

Thus, gender identity has alarge impact on the engineering identity of women and may shape the formation of role identitiesin graduate school. Because multiple personal identities and role identities interact in doctoralstudents’ experience, an intersectional lens is essential to the study of doctoral student roleidentities in graduate school (e.g., [44], [45]). There are challenges associated with doctoral student identity development due to themany roles and identities these students assume [46], as examined through the lens ofcommunities of practice.
