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.
