school students participated in a week-long summer camp thatfocused on electrical and computer engineering (ECE) concepts and practices. The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities. The middle school students completed validated and reliablepre and post-surveys adapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey andthe Group Work Skills Questionnaire Manual. The S-STEM survey is

program was grant-funded and provided busing to and from AMSA’s campus fromstudents’ homes for student populations that identified this need, as well as to and from bothinstitutions the second week for all participants. The overall cost of the program broke down to$708 per pupil. The S-STEM survey [14] was used as a pre- and post-intervention measure, aswell as an additional exit survey. The S-STEM survey indicated no statistically significantchanges in interest in or attitudes towards STEM. Program coordinators felt this was probablynot the correct program metric instrument considering the population involved and the brevity ofthe program. The additional exit survey in comparison to the entrance survey saw no differencein students planning to

knowledge of the content presented during the course.4.2 Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) SurveyThe Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey was used to answer the project's second researchquestion. This survey was developed at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation – College ofEducation North Carolina University [18] to collect and interpret information about students’ attitudestoward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects, postsecondary pathways, andcareer interests. This instrument is free to access and modify for educational use and can be adapted tolocal conditions as long as the source is cited.Given that the audience of the course is Spanish-speaking, the project used, translated, and adapted aversion

afterexposure to the lesson. The second exit ticket was a prompt based on the lesson content. The aim of thisexit ticket was to ensure key points were retained from the lesson. Evaluation surveys were administered at the beginning and end of the 2023 UACI camp iteration.Surveys were adapted from the Utilizing the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey (FridayInstitute for Education Innovation, 2012), which asks students to provide information about their attitudestoward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects, postsecondary pathways, and careerinterests. Two versions of the STEM survey were used with the UACI camp participants: one for 4-5thgraders, and one for 6-12th graders. Surveys used for this study also included

+C units. The units included designing and testing a movingobject, creating sculptures with circuitry, and developing an ecosystem video game. Theyassessed the students’ engagement and attitudes towards STEM+C. Paired T-tests revealedsignificant positive increases in girls’ attitudes toward mathematics and science. Significantincreases were also observed in all students’ attitudes toward science. S-STEM results indicatedthat students’ perceptions of their math and science performance increased. Students also gainedan understanding of STEM+C careers with the largest gains in girls’ knowledge of scientists andcomputer scientists. Findings also revealed that students reported very high to high levels ofaffective and overall engagement.Lin
