Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from TRY-IT! Students as well as a control group that did not participate in the intervention, teachers, and parents to assess changes in attitudes and knowledge with respect to a variety of STEM-related topics.Findings: Quantitative analyses did not reveal significant long-lasting differences between the TRY-IT! and the control group, thus providing a mixed assessment of the effectiveness of the intervention. However, qualitative student responses collected during the second year of participation revealed positive attitudes toward the program experience and benefits of their exposure to science. In light of these findings, insights drawn from reflecting on successes and challenges experienced during the course of planning and implementing the study are provided to guide future programs and research.Originality/value: The intervention was developed in response to the continued under representation of minority and lower SES individuals in STEM careers. An effort to boost positive attitudes toward science and math, as well as confidence in the accessibility of STEM careers among this population is important given the promising outlook of this career field compared to others for future generations.","PeriodicalId":46222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk","volume":"20 3","pages":"218-237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10824669.2015.1030077","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35034655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
