			<abstract><ab><![CDATA[This study aimed to explore the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) principles in informal STEM education,focusing on the experiences of Underrepresented Racially Minoritized (UUREM) girls during a week-long residential STEMsummer camp. Utilizing a single case study design, the researchers investigated how PBL facilitates engagement andunderstanding of STEM concepts through podcasting activities. Participants engaged in immersive exploration, integratingtheir research on podcasting and interviewing women in STEM fields. Data were collected from participants’ podcastrecordings, scripts, and collaborative chat logs. The study revealed insights into collaboration, creativity, scriptwriting,recording, and editing among student groups. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of fostering teamwork andenhancing students’ creative and technical capabilities in project-based learning environments. Integrating PBL withininformal learning environments is crucial for supporting UUREM girls in STEM education. This approach not only fostersengagement but also promotes an inclusive atmosphere where diverse perspectives are valued. The study advocatesfor the expansion of PBL initiatives in informal learning contexts, emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusion.By empowering UUREM girls through targeted STEM programs, educators can cultivate a generation of confident andcapable learners prepared to thrive in STEM fields.]]></ab></abstract>
