The context in question can be formal, such as an educationalsetting or STEM discipline, or informal, such as friendships or affinity groups. The positiveimpacts of a strong sense of belonging on academic achievement and persistence in STEMmajors are well documented [5] [6] [7].

However,gender disparities persist across engineering disciplines. The fact that girls do not participate inpre-college robotics at the same rate as boys has been proposed as a bottleneck for girls enrollingin engineering majors [2]. When girls are not part of extracurricular robotics programs, they missvital opportunities to develop tinkering self-efficacy and join engineering majors includingmechanical and electrical engineering [3]. Alternatively, bioengineering and biomedicalengineering (BME) programs graduate ~40% women students each year [4]. Diversity in BME iswell studied

of excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) requiresstudents’ sustained enthusiasm and commitment. However, the high rate of dropouts andtransitions to other majors implies that students struggle with maintaining motivation in STEMdisciplines. Indeed, longitudinal research suggests that motivation tends to decline over time inSTEM fields, particularly in introductory courses that serve as gateways to graduation. Thisdecline in motivation can, in turn, result in decreased academic performance and hinderedprogress toward degree attainment [1]-[2]. This motivation loss may be even more substantial forBlack, Latine, Native American, and first-generation students (i.e., marginalized students).Despite starting STEM

The set of logical rulesknown as the Turing machine later developed into the concept of neural networks, the backboneof most AI technologies today.
