Buo, Carrie; Brookover, Matthew; Decker, Garrett; Kindig, Rachael; Duff, R. Joel; Makki, Nidaa – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2021
Informal outreach programs can provide authentic science experiences for elementary school students, who may not have these experiences in formal school settings. Research indicates that students lose interest in science in middle school, so it's important to reach them early. To address this need, we designed a summer camp focused on exposing…

Molz, Alexander; Kuhn, Jochen; Müller, Andreas – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Affective and cognitive outcomes of science teaching in schools may be enhanced by science outreach labs (SOLs). Particularly interesting is whether and how to connect SOL visits to in-school science learning. Recent studies--among others, in this journal--have confirmed SOLs' positive affective effects. However, research remains inconclusive…

Melvin, Adam T.; Steel, Adrienne – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
Recent studies have identified that engaging middle school students (grades 6-8) in STEM activities increases their chances of choosing STEM-related disciplines when entering college; however, very few university-sponsored opportunities are available for these students. This paper describes an outreach day for middle school students consisting of…

Huvard, Hannah; Talbot, Robert M.; Mason, Hillary; Thompson, Amreen Nasim; Ferrara, Michael; Wee, Bryan – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: A growing part of the efforts to promote student engagement and success in undergraduate STEM are the family of Student Support and Outreach Programs (SSOPs), which task undergraduate students with providing support and mentoring to their peers and near-peers. Research has shown that these programs can provide a variety of benefits for…

Boyd, Kathryn J.; Okochi, Christine; Littrell, Megan K.; Batchelor, Rebecca L.; Gold, Anne U.; Leckey, Erin – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2021
Mentorship has been shown to have a positive influence on mentees but less research is available on the impacts for mentors, particularly those involved in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) outreach. As we work to enhance STEM engagement through outreach programs that include mentoring, understanding the impact on mentors that…

Nantais, Michael; Skyhar, Candy L. – Online Submission, 2020
Numeracy has increasingly become a topic of importance and concern in our contemporary society. Student success in numeracy is influenced by the positive attitudes and values they hold about mathematics. This outreach project sought to foster the development of such attitudes and values through the design, implementation, and evaluation of a…

Todd, Brandy L.; Zvoch, Keith – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
This study investigates the impact of an informal science outreach programme built around theories of identity formation and self-efficacy on middle school girls' science affinities. A lottery-based, randomised control trial was used to identify programme effects on four science affinity outcomes: science interests, efficacy with science, science…
