Seeding Your Future and the Impact

Abstract

The study of the impact of the Seeding Your Future Initiative on the students that attended is to show any correlations that may be present between those that attended and if they went on to go into a STEAM major or if they decided to do something entirely else. The goal of this research is to see how the Seeding Your Future Initiative is impacting the students that attend and to see what demographics are attending, such as location, age, schooling, and grade level. Data suggests that at least three students have gone on to go into STEAM in college. The data for those that have not finished high school shows that most of the students keep returning due to a love for STEAM. Overall, the study is to find any comparisons that have occurred in the last ten years of the Seeding Your Future Initiative and how that has impacted the students who have attended. The source of support for this study was the Shepherd Opportunities to Attract Research Students (SOARS) at Shepherd University.
