Abstract | This article presents a program evaluation of a six-week middle school pilot program focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) enrichment using robotics, specifically VEX Robots™. Two key questions guided this evaluation: (a) Does exposure to robotics influence middle school dispositions about STEM and careers in STEM? and (b) What lessons can be learned from the experiences of program leaders and students? The aims were to provide guidance and recommendations for future implementation, development, and evaluation of the program. Findings are noted, along with a discussion and recommendations. (As Provided). |
