Students were divided into groups based on their interests and unique skills (software, microelectronics, coding, programming, etc.). Each group’s goal was to identify a problem in their lives, environment, or society, and make a prototype to help resolve that problem. In those five weeks, the students conceived projects, designs, and future solutions. They received access to real-time training and technology in electronics, mechanical 3-D drawing and printing, C-programming, python, computer vision, machine learning, and MQTT protocols used throughout the internet of things. As a result of this hands-on approach, students produced working prototypes within a short timeframe that with slight modification could be scaled commercially.
Twenty-four students were accepted into the Jumpstart Summer Program, and out of those twenty-four students, only three were young women. These women in STEM included Monica Escalante, Sushma Katta, and Abigail Zhang. At time of writing, Monica was a rising sophomore at Montgomery College. Her interests included studying complex math and science. Sushma, a rising junior from Richard Montgomery, got into STEM at a young age, learning how various gadgets worked and the many ways they could be assembled. Abigail, a rising senior from Winston Churchill High School, hopes to further her studies in the field of electrical engineering. Abigail also mentioned that growing up, she always valued STEM initiatives. As she gets older, she hopes to take more hands-on technology courses, like those offered through the UMD CPSE program.
