| Abstract Title: | STEM Public Outreach Team (SPOT) Impact and Adaptation |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | The University of Washington Bothell (UWB) STEM Public Outreach Team (SPOT) trains undergraduate students to give presentations and lead activities related to current STEM research topics. During 2020 and 2021 the SPOT program pivoted to online classrooms and events with adaptations that will carry forward. Access and availability for the SPOT Student Ambassadors as well as the participating schools and community groups has been expanded through online engagement options. The SPOT program collaborates with the UW Center for Evaluation and Research for STEM Equity (CERSE) on Evaluating the Impact of Participation in STEM Outreach on Persistence of Diverse Students in Physics, Math, and Engineering. |
