and careers and college in general. The aim was for these students to consider college as an option and specifically a STEM discipline as a major. The modules were presented by enthusiastic faculty using demonstrations, laboratory exercises, and hands-on activities to stimulate the students. Participants were administered a questionnaire to assess this program. Students indicated that due to this class they are more likely to attend college and have a more favorable attitude towards pursuing a major in a STEM field. While the students, and high school student mentors are more satisfied with the Phase II remote delivery of this course, NSU faculty indicates it is still a problem. Both high school and NSU faculty indicate that getting the students to turn in assigned work is a problem. These perceptions have not changed significantly from Phase I. Changes to address these concerns are being planned.
