2021 Poster - STEM Workforce Stories for Adolescents Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (SWS)

December 13, 2021 | Media and Technology, Public Programs

This poster was presented at the 2021 NSF AISL Awardee Meeting.

Persons who are deaf or hard of hearing are underrepresented in the STEM workforce. A key factor is lack of awareness of STEM careers or of examples of STEM professionals. SWS has developed 8 video stories for viewing at home or while attending a boys and girls club. Evaluation will provide new knowledge about design, use, and potential impact of the stories on our audience’s interest in pursuing STEM and possibly a STEM career.
