Others have employed soccer players and fashion bloggers to vouch for how “cool”STEM can be.10 Unfortunately, efforts to update and broaden the engineering identity havefocused too much exclusively on the career aspects of the profession (ex. an engineer at work) oremployed ineffective adult

Summer of Innovation (SoI) was designed to give students an opportunity toengage in OST learning at an early age and during a critical period in the education cycle:summer. While professionals in STEM may attribute their decision to pursue STEM careers toan out-of-school experience, many formal and informal educators do not feel they have the skillsand knowledge to successfully engage youth in programs to positively impact STEM learning.In 2009, President Obama announced the “Educate to Innovate” campaign to foster a renewedcommitment to strengthen Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education.

Some of them solely count on the scholarships provided by the school or have to take out student loans. Supported by National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM), NASA research grants and other Federal research grants, many MSU engineering graduate students have been involved in applied research projects with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Army Research Laboratory, and the local industry.

The Pew Research Center did a survey in 2017 and found that 52% of thesurveyed adults agree that the STEM-based curriculum for today’s youth (around 21%-24%) wastoo hard for them [5]. These courses normally became hard between the ages of thirteen toseventeen [6]. Other reasons included that STEM education did not relate to their career goals orit did not catch their interest. Due to the indifference in these subjects, these students flocked toother subjects. In 2009, a report showed that two competing subjects against STEM were visualand performing arts
