Abstract
The Baltimore Online Algebra for Students in Technology Program is an innovative, hybrid, NSF-funded (Award 2005790) algebra-for-engineering afterschool program and school-day math elective for urban high school students. For students with limited exposure to engineering careers, role model videos featuring mostly Black STEM professionals at varying levels of their careers spark imagination of possible career trajectories, de-stigmatize struggle in becoming a STEM professional, and combat myths about who can be an engineer. Our 10 videos will be made available (open access) to users. We will preview videos and highlight discussion questions to implement in classrooms, afterschool contexts, and more.
