Wright; Steven J. Spencer – Child Development, 2024
Girls and women face persistent negative stereotyping within STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). This field intervention was designed to improve boys' perceptions of girls' STEM ability. Boys (N = 667; mostly White and East Asian) aged 9-15 years in Canadian STEM summer camps (2017-2019) had an intervention or control…

Marja Gabrielle Bertrand; Hatice Beyza Sezer; Immaculate Kizito Namukasa – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2024
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have been noted to enhance student learning by supporting spatial reasoning and visualization, long-term memory, engagement, and increased motivation. The researchers situated the exploration of these tools for learning within the culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) in mathematics education. The…

April H. Reed; Mark G. Angolia; Lyubov G. Sluder; Leslie R. Pagliari – Journal of Youth Development, 2022
Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields have been traditionally entered by men, often establishing women as underrepresented in many of these fields. This research study focuses on participants at a STEM camp for middle- and high-school girls designed to introduce them to technology. The camp was held 4 times over 3 years, with…

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…

Trumble, Jason; Dailey, Debbie – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2019
Spatial visualization and mental rotations skills are considered a strong predictor of success in STEM fields (Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009). This study analyzed the malleability and amount of change in fourth through sixth grade students using the Revised PSVT:R. Participants engaged in a STEM camp driven by maker pedagogy and focused on the…

Frost, Laura; Bovard, Brian; Bugarin, Alejandro; Johnson, Brian; Atha, Megan; Swanson, Magdalin; Walsh-Haney, Heather – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2021
We describe two established STEM camps that went virtual following the outbreak of COVID-19 during the summer of 2020. Our Summer Research Opportunity (SRO) camp engages middle school science fair winners in a forensic research opportunity, while The Immokalee Foundation (TIF) camp introduces middle school students from historically…

Kari Roberts; Roxanne Hughes – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2019
Informal STEM education programs have become venues wherein girls can improve their sense of belonging and potential success (STEM identity) through interactions with role models and seeing how STEM fields are relevant to them. Despite decades of advocacy for single-sex programs' role in improving girls' STEM identity, few studies have found…

Wiest, Lynda R., Ed.; Sanchez, Jafeth E., Ed.; Crawford-Ferre, Heather Glynn, Ed. – IAP - Information Age Publishing, Inc., 2017
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines play a pivotal role in societal progress and economic prosperity, in addition to enhancing individual lives. However, U.S. students lack strong STEM performance in an international context. The pool of STEM-proficient workers is thus insufficient to fuel the nation, with females…
