“…Engineering and/or technology focused camps have been found to have positive impacts on students' views of engineering (Elam, Donham, & Soloman, 2012;Nadelson and Callahan, 2011) and technology (Nugent, Barker, Grandgenett, & Adamchuk, 2010). Additionally, outreach programs that incorporate engineering into the school curriculum have had positive impacts on students' views of engineering (Hirsch, Carpinelli, Kimmel, Rockland, & Bloom, 2007;Plant, Baylor, Doerr, & Rosenberg-Kima, 2009). Plant et al (2009) investigated the impact of using computer animated interface agents on 106 middle schools students' math performance and attitudes towards the utility of math and hard sciences and found that interacting with a female agent resulted in fewer gender-related perceptions of engineering in male students, but female students' perceptions remained unchanged.…”
