This paper briefly outlines efforts from otherinstitutions to inform the creation of a STEM-focused summer bridge program at Weber StateUniversity, a western teaching university in the Rocky Mountain region. Program goals aredefined as well as proposed methods for program assessment. 2 INTRODUCTIONSummer Bridge Programs: Background and Prior Research In spite of efforts to remove barriers and support students [1], a large number ofindividuals seeking a college education do not reach their final goal.

computing is investigated. Theapproach, which is called Seed since it is patterned after biological systems, consists of Seedvirtual machine (VM), Seed composer, and Seed user interface (UI). The VM facilitates all thecomputations happening in the system. The composer breaks up the code to be ran into smallersegments for future optimization and more fine-grained control over what is running. The UI isthe interface a user will interact to use the system. This project examined the feasibility of anobject-oriented VM based on C++ programming. The VM was implemented with an object-oriented memory system to store all the data being computed on, an interpreter which executesthe bytecodes associated with computation and updates the data in the Object
