Abstract
Our team has developed an outreach program to introduce high school students to the field of histotechnology. We designed activities to engage students in a contextual experience in which they applied histology skills, explored scientific concepts at the core of histotechnology, and learned about education and career opportunities in the field of histotechnology, all within the setting of a national technical conference. This work describes the program design, and it summarizes data from a pilot study of the effectiveness of this program and setting in promoting science, engineering and technology as education and/or career goals, using situated and social cognitive learning theories as a framework.
