Abstract: STEM identity development is a complex process that begins long before students enter college, select academic majors, and make career choices. Research indicates that early STEM experiences are central in engaging, inspiring and motivating students to pursue STEM opportunities that ultimately lead them into academic programs of study and future careers. If the US aspires to having an adequate and diverse STEM workforce, it is necessary to meaningfully engage a broad range of students, including large numbers of students who have traditionally been underrepresented in STEM fields, in STEM experiences that inspire students to pursue STEM academic programs and careers.
