SUCCESS is a pilot study to understand,

• the best ways to engage underrepresented students in STEM and increase their science identity,
• the best ways to increase students hope and confidence in STEM,
• what are some best practices to provide motivation and scaffolding for underrepresented students who want to pursue a STEM major in college?

We believe that students learn from:

• guided discovery
• real-life, relevant curriculum modules
• working with mentors at various stages in their academic and career trajectories
• input, hearing, reading and interacting with various media in contexts such as: hands-on experiences, pictures, video, descriptions, and other subject-matter content,
• frequent and varied opportunities to design, interpret and demonstrate understanding of the material presented.
