Conducting Successful Virtual STEM Outreach.

With the onset of a global pandemic, it became necessary to reevaluate the nature of Science, Technology, En-gineering, and Math (STEM) outreach. In many areas of the United States and beyond, in-person events were prohibited for multiple years. It was therefore necessary to find an alternative approach to continue to impact the interest of K-12 students in exploring hands-on STEM activities. This paper presents the Future Innovators Workshop (FIW) model for conducting successful virtual STEM outreach. While still a work in progress, lessons from the FIW model can be applied to both other STEM outreach efforts in addition to future iterations of the virtual Future Innovators Workshop.
