The ubiquity of technology has increased the demand for people who are both interested in pursuing work in STEM fields and have the knowledge and competencies to be successful in them. Research on STEM learning suggest that authentic, project-based and open-ended learning experiences can foster learners’ interest and motivation while also develop deeper knowledge and skills. These approaches seem to be particularly important for engaging children and youth from traditionally underrepresented populations in STEM fields. The pressing question is whether these kinds of approaches can foster the dispositions and foundational competencies needed for success in technology and computing fields.
