%X According to research, women are significantly underrepresented in the
areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The goal of
this proposed model is to increase the number of females entering into STEM
careers by providing mentoring, parental support, collaboration with external
stakeholders, and engagement in a STEM learning environment. The model will
identify twenty female students at the elementary/middle level that have shown
a keen interest in STEM/STEAM/STEMM. These female students and their parents
will embark on an experience that will engage them in STEM related experiences
and opportunities throughout high school. With k-12 support, the hope is that
the students will pursue STEM college degree(s) and enter a STEM/STEAM/STEMM
profession.
