This results in some very lopsided competitions. We view this as a threatto novice players. Our conclusion is that the disparity of skills in an unbalanced gameenvironment creates a hostile, inaccessible environment for students with budding interest incybersecurity who have limited computer-technical skills.Observation 4: Many competitions do not emphasize the tangential competencies ofcybersecurity careers such as ethical, legal, and privacy concerns inherent to cybersecurity.Additionally, most competitions also don’t explore the need for demonstrating

Callahan, 2004;Kazmierczak, 2005). According to the National Science Board (2012), only about 8.6% of highschool students choose to go into STEM fields. Additionally, around 4% of nearly 4 million highschool graduates in the USA graduate college with an engineering degree (Orsak, 2003).In addition, STEM education is facing a diversity issue. Some ethnic groups and women areunderrepresented, especially in engineering. Women make up half of the population and are notvery interested in going into engineering for various reasons, including not feeling welcome inthe engineering environment, not encouraged or expected to succeed in that field (Lambright,Johnson, & Coates, 2009), or the misconception that engineering is a ‘nerdy’ career (Borregoand

In particular, she is interested in supporting science teachers’ reform- based instruction while simultaneously understanding their beliefs. As science classrooms shift to more integrated STEM approaches, this is especially critical. Additionally, Dr. Dare has a passion for working with K-12 students to understand how changes in classroom instruction impacts their attitudes towards and beliefs about STEM fields.

This is particularly valuable for retention of female students.Women leaving STEM fields often cite a feeling that those fields do not align with theirinterests, which are often focused around communal goals such as helping others [8]. Womenhave also been shown to emphasize altruism, knowledge development, and interpersonalorientation as motivating factors in their career
