“…Similarly, Hughes et al (2013) found an increase in girls' interests and self‐concepts, and ultimately their STEM identities, in a summer camp that exposed them to STEM professionals and STEM careers. Further, collaboration in out‐of‐school contexts may provide opportunities for individuals to construct, negotiate, and position themselves as an engineer (e.g., McLean et al, 2020; S. A. Pattison et al, 2018; S. Pattison, Gontan, et al, 2020; Riedinger & McGinnis, 2017; Schnittka et al, 2012). For example, McLean et al (2020) documented the affordances of a community‐based program grounded in collaborative engineering projects with peers and mentors in supporting children's identification with engineering.…”
