This game is a great tool to getcollege and high school students excited about learning how to design a chemical product whilethinking about economic evaluation, environmental impact and sustainability. The game isdesigned to fit into courses about sustainability or chemical engineering, for both studentsspecializing in these areas and those who aren’t but have a keen interest in sustainability,especially the role hydrogen plays in promoting it. It's also suitable for high school programs,mini study groups and career day presentations. The game is free to use and helps studentspractice making important decisions in

Indeed, research has found that it is harder for girlsand women to pursue and persist in a STEM career if they endorse a fixed mindset [57], [58],[59]. These findings suggest that women with lower levels of growth mindset are more likely toselect themselves out of engineering studies before sophomore year.We did not find significant differences among racial/ethnic groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test,χ2(9) = 11.42, p = 0.248.

Characteristics ofmentorship include career development, research development, cultural diversity, andpsychosocial support [25], [26]. Psychosocial support involves the social and psychologicalaspects of a mentoring relationship. Self-awareness is therefore related to providing psychosocialsupport; however, researchers have not yet fully examined the importance of a mentor’s self-awareness in their STEMM research mentoring relationships. Psychosocial functions inmentoring include demonstrating positive behavior, friendliness
