  1. (, 2023 AERA Annual Meeting)
    Recent STEM programs have made accomplishments in recruiting K-12 girl students to participate in STEM activities. Educational researchers have called for studies of how STEM programs engage girls. However, little research has embedded STEM education with girl education such as their emotional needs, identity and self-expression. This study examines how crochet that was embedded in a STEM summer camp impacts their sense of belonging, creativity, well-being, and STEM learning. For this qualitative study, surveys were conducted with 37 student participants and Discord was used as part of the data sources.
