Abstract
Funded through a grant from Texas Workforce Commission, DesignHER Code Camps were created to use the fashion interests of underserved middle school girls as springboards to interest them in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Results were generally consistent with the
achievement of camp goals—(a) increase the interest of middle school girls in coding and other STEM fields, and (b) provide hands-on experiences related to the fashion industry that simultaneously foster interest in STEM-related careers—although changes in interest in STEM careers
were not statistically significant. This type of experience contributes to the growing recognition that FCS content can play a vital role in the development of STEM concepts for youth.
