SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In accordance with Executive Order 13506 establishing the White
House Council on Women and Girls, the Women@NASA Program was created to
provide mentoring opportunities in science, technology, engineering,
and math (STEM) disciplines for female students. To support the White
House Educate to Innovate campaign, the Women@NASA Program was expanded
to offer an equivalent program for young males called NASA Building
Outstanding Young Scientists (BOYS). Both programs are designed to
engage underrepresented rising 5th-8th grade students in a one-on-one
virtual mentoring experience, under parental/adult supervision, one
hour per week for a five-week period. Participants will be selected
from a diverse set of geographical locations across the USA.
This clearance request pertains to the collection of information
associated with the administration of electronic application forms,
parental consent forms, and pre and post parent/student surveys.
Surveys are designed to gauge participant interest in STEM subjects
before and after the virtual mentoring experience, measure the program
impact, access the effectiveness of the virtual mentoring approach and
identify opportunities for improvement.
