outreach.Introduction and BackgroundTo promote K-12 student engagement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM), it is imperative that science and math teachers effectively link their content material toissues of significance to the students. Transportation issues, in particular those that occur duringtimes of such national emergencies as hurricanes, earthquakes, or war, have recently come to theforefront of national concern. People at all levels, from students in elementary schools to policymakers to research scientists and engineers, have all attempted to comprehend and to mitigate thehuman impact inflicted by disasters such as Katrina and 9/11. Many of the lessons learneddirectly concern the engineering and science communities. How do we

However, over thecourse of the academic year, participation levels at events decreased as the yearprogressed. After an individual missed an event, they were less likely to attend laterevents.Whether a mentoring relationship works or not in essence boils down to the ability fortwo individuals to “click”. If that bond or connection is made, the mentoring relationshipworks, and if the connection is not made, a relationship may exist but true mentoringdoes not exist. In a one-on-one mentoring structure, the mentee only has the opportunityto connect with the

Thus,the purpose of our research is to focus on how a sense of belonging is impacted for students inonline learning settings.We seek to answer the following questions through this work: 1. How does the digital divide currently impact a sense of belonging and community in students? 2. What patterns will be revealed when we investigate sense of belonging across different social identities?MethodsPrevious research by Peacock and Cowan (2020) suggested that three factors are responsible forstudents’ sense of belonging when engaged in online learning: interaction/engagement, culture oflearning, and support.
