AB  - (paper type: ERM) -- Performance in math, particularly algebra, is a major barrier to student success and participation in STEM among under-represented minority students, particularly Black U.S. high school students. This research applies Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) to measure impacts of an afterschool algebra-for-engineering program on math self-efficacy and interest in STEM among high school students in a large urban district. To study the program’s effects, a mixed methods research design was used where schools were assigned to either treatment or control conditions. Students in treatment schools accessed algebra-for-engineering modules, STEM-professional role model videos, and field trips, while students in control schools accessed role model videos and field trips only. Surveys measuring math self-efficacy, and STEM interest, outcome expectations, and choice goals were completed by participants in both conditions at the beginning and end of two separate program years, 2021-22 and 2022-23. Across both years, initial quantitative results show few significant differences between treatment and control students and widely varying participation levels. Qualitative data offer student voice around prior experiences in math and science and the development of postsecondary plans in STEM. In combination, the results suggest that for students who do not initially identify as STEM career-bound, afterschool programming may not necessarily promote preparation for STEM careers due to an accumulation of weak math and science school experiences and other socio-environmental influences.
