STEM as undergraduates [31]. It is, therefore, not surprising that thepercentage of Black women earning bachelor’s degrees in computer sciences, mathematics andstatistics, and engineering has declined in the past twenty years [31]. This concern is furtheracknowledged by the National Science Foundation in their 2020 STEM Education for the Futurereport where the need for more diversity in STEM was highlighted as Priority I, Challenge 2. Inparticular, the report states: It is crucial that today’s students represent all dimensions of America’s diverse society to facilitate equity and inclusion, because today’s students will become tomorrow’s STEM faculty, workforce and innovators [79, p. 14].To meet this challenge, we must go

At that point they are hooked and desire similar experiences. For these reasons the experience has galvanized their desire to continue into an engineering field. • One student was sure he wanted to do mechanical engineering because he loves to build, but since competing with VEX, his interests
