Therefore, no pre-tests or post-testswere given or deemed necessary. Hence, only a qualitative study was done of the students’ experiencesin the workshop. This introduction to a STEM field that they may not have experienced previouslywould hopefully increase their interest in considering a STEM career in the future.[4]The participants were surveyed before and after the workshop.
