Sparking an Interest in STEM Erin Bailey Northern Arizona University Mentor: Maggie Vanderberg, Ph.D

●Large gender gap in STEM-related degrees ●Computer Science classes rarely offered for young students Problem Statement

●Help introduce Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math to young women ●Incorporate these skills into a videogame ●Introduce Computer Science to young women Solution

●CS 413: Virtual Worlds ●Sublime text editor ●ActionScript/Flash -> Haxe/Starling Tools

●Choosing the wrong tools to start with ●Learning new languages ●Streamlining work to be more efficient ●Finding young women who were interested in participating Challenges

●User testing is currently being done ●Gathering information via survey Analysis

●Data still has to be analyzed ●I’m prepared for either outcome regarding my hypothesis ●Moving forward, I hope to implement new features Conclusion

“If we knew what we were doing, then it wouldn’t be called research” -Albert Einstein
