Abstract
This project examined the impact of attending a medical-focused science enrichment camp on ninth-grade students’ attitudes towards STEM. Self-efficacy was significantly higher post-camp compared to pre-camp, and students believed the experience would help them succeed in career plans. Students also believed science had greater value for them after attending camp
