can have a positive influence on theirdecision to pursue studies in STEM. In the absence of quality STEM curriculum in schools,particularly in urban areas with high proportions of minorities, summer enrichment programs canbe instrumental in informing young girls about careers in STEM, particularly engineering, andhelp ensure they receive the academic preparation required to enter STEM-related collegeprograms. The current study examines evaluation data collected from girls who attended suchprograms for multiple summers during the time period from 2006 to 2009, graduating from highschool in 2014 and 2015 and provides follow-up date related to college attendance.IntroductionThe demand for more professionals in the science, technology
