The University of Florida (UF) is partnering with Arizona State University (ASU) and the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) to focus on two school districts in Arizona, a state with more than 1 million students, 45% Hispanic, and 11% students receiving special education. The elementary years are a critical time for a child’s formation of positive attitudes toward the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas. Several studies indicate that high school students interested in STEM careers, as well as graduate students in the sciences, report that their interest in STEM was initiated by experiences prior to or during middle school (Aschbacher et al., 2010; Maltese & Tai, 2010). When interest is not established early, there can be a marked decline in positive attitudes as students move to high school (George, 2000). Hence, we focus on the 4th and 5th grade years as this is the time when students begin to consider whether to opt in or out of future STEM experiences (Penner & Paret, 2008).
