Critically, studies have shown students transition from interest in engi-neering, to seeing engineering as an option, and finally choosing to become an engineer in avery short period of time [6]. Additionally, short interventions (like a one-day versus multi-day experience) have been shown to have similar outcomes for attracting diverse students totechnology careers [7]. We envision our intervention operating as a vicarious experience [8],which enhances self-efficacy.In robotics, research from educators indicates that robotics education has a unique opportu-nity to promote diverse participation, including meaningful applications, tactile robotic sys-tems, and well scaled projects.

Classic work within this Expectancy-Value framework (e.g., Eccles et al., 1983) hasexamined this relationship for decades on primarily non-engineering students (e.g., math andbiology, Eccles, 1984; Wigfield & Eccles, 1992; Sullins, Hernandez, Fuller, & Tashiro, 1995).Until relatively recently, the focus of expectancy-value research has centered predominately onthe “expectancy” side of the theory (and has extended into other theories such as social-cognitivecareer theory, Lent

Our signature outreach event, the WOMEN(Women’s Outreach in Materials, Energy, and Nanobiotechnology) Event, introduces female highschool students and their parents to what scientists and engineers do and how they benefit society.While many outreach programs focus on urban communities, our program targets rural areas wherewomen are particularly at risk for not attending or completing college [3]. During the WOMEN Event, our group hosts 20 to 40 tenth grade females and their parents fromrural areas to further their interest in STEM fields and provide an early start on college planning.Now in its sixth year, the
