Gossen, Drew; Hammack, Rebekah; Utley, Juliana – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2021
Students who develop interest in STEM careers by the eighth grade are more likely to pursue careers in STEM (Tai et al., 2006). Interest development can happen through a variety of sources, including informal learning experiences such as out of school programs and summer camps. This study looks at one such informal STEM experience, an engineering…
