Exploring Student Perceptions of Teamwork in a Summer Outreach ProgramAbstractIncreasing numbers of summer outreach programs aim to engage students in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM). A common approach to these programs is project-basedlearning (PBL), which often involves working in teams. Ideally, students participating in theseprograms work together in teams to apply the STEM knowledge gained from their programexperiences; these intentional communication and collaboration experiences are also likely toenhance students’ teamwork skills. However, team experiences are not always positive, andsome team members may not feel welcome to contribute. Team experiences can negatively affectstudents’ sense

7th Grade (AB7G) has been launched as a pilot program from National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates (NAMEPA), hosted by the University of Cincinnati and Purdue University. The program begins with students in the 3rd grade and continues each year until the 7th grade where the students are exposed to Algebra and hands on projects. The students’ progress and test scores are tracked and monitored. Our pilot sites meet two Saturdays of each month. All participants are required to have access to the Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) web-based student assessment system or a similar software program. The system can measure which skills the student has mastered and skills in which the students need more
