Abstract

The Community Outreach, Retention, and Engagement (CORE) program is a community-based, informal STEM program designed for multicultural students and families in the Twin Cities area. We aim to build a more inclusive STEM field systemically, and our goal is for students to engage in STEM long-term through pursuing their own STEM pathway. We designed a culturally-relevant and holistic program, and we implement our programming with the FACE of CORE - Family engagement, Academic support and social-emotional learning, College and career readiness, and Exposure to the STEM ecosystem through hands-on experiences. In less than two years, we have used systems of reflection and feedback to increase our participation and improve the quality of our programming, both of which positively impact CORE students and families.
