“…One particular outreach format is the ambassador program, in which groups of undergraduate students deliver in-class presentations and hands-on activities to middle and high school students in order to illustrate the nature, impact and possibilities of engineering. Such visits can increase the audience's knowledge, interest and identification with science and engineering as well as awareness of and interest in STEM-related degrees and career options (Nadelson and Callahan, 2011;Molina-Gaudo et al, 2010;Habash and Surtamm, 2010;Sahin, 2013;Smaill, 2010;Wei and Wonch Hill, 2018). However, little is known about the ways in which participation in an ambassador outreach program might act as a professional development vehicle for the undergraduate student.…”

“…Similar initiatives have been reported all around the world by researchers such as Gattis et al (2003), Dawes and Rasmussen (2006), Elton et al (2006), Little and León de la Barra (2009), Lopez-Martin (2010), Rawot et al (2011), Smith and Monk (2005), and Smaill (2010). These initiatives are examples of activities aimed at changing stereotypes related to gender and technology as well as increasing interest in STEM fields through competitions, shows, school programmes, and recruitment activities.…”

“…According to Smaill (2010), the United States (US) has published the most reports on university outreach activities, especially school-based activities. Similar initiatives have been reported all around the world by researchers such as Gattis et al (2003), Dawes and Rasmussen (2006), Elton et al (2006), Little and León de la Barra (2009), Lopez-Martin (2010), Rawot et al (2011), Smith and Monk (2005), and Smaill (2010).…”

“…To change this trend, students must be motivated to approach STEM disciplines with more interest, starting from K-12 education [5], [6]. The use of technology and interactive elements in K-12 education has been shown to play an influential role in achieving this [7], [8].…”
