AB  - ASEE MIND Focus Area:      Attracting young MINDS - outreach and recruitment of minority       engineering students (including K-12);Innovative STEM Conference (ISC): Outreaching toUnderrepresented Minorities in an Effort to Increase theirparticipation in STEM Research                       The U.S pipeline of K-12 students that are              interested in STEM majors and/or careers is              thirsting for diversity. There is a gross deficit of              minorities, women, and other underrepresented              groups currently in the pipeline to becoming STEM              professionals. The benefits of a more diverse              pipeline, including different perspectives and              approaches, have been well-documented.              Outreaching to these underrepresented groups in              order to add them to the STEM pipeline requires              innovative recruitment with inventive methods and              strategies.                       The Innovative STEM Conference (ISC)              was created to help diversify our country’s STEM              pipeline by outreaching to underrepresented              minorities in an effort to increase their participation              in STEM research. The ISC is a national conference              that is designed to strategically inspire, engage,              expose, and educate students, specifically a large              contingency of underrepresented students, to              become the next generation of STEM professionals.                       The ISC consists of five major components:              the Pre-Conference Day, Expo, Urban Roundtable              for STEM (URSTEM), and two symposiums: the              Maryland-regional Junior Science and Humanities              Symposium (MDJSHS) and the Innovative STEM              Symposium (ISS). The two symposiums serve as a              platform for middle school, high school and college              students to present the research they have conducted              and to observe the research that their peers are              conducting.                       The ISC will feature cool gadgets,              motivational speakers, and smart technology that              will excite students about the potential of STEM.              There are also dynamic workshops, distinguished              panelists, and information sessions that will informand educate about the requirements and STEM’svalue in our society. Research opportunities,scholarships, corporate and academic informationalbooths are also available for conference attendees totake advantage of. During the three years of theconference, survey results have shown a significantincrease in underrepresented groups participating inhigh-level research, as well as a total increase ofminorities participating in the conference.
