Fig. 4: Pre and post experience student survey results within each construct aligned with STEM success.

A Scatter plots with individual circles representing the average of an individual student’s responses to questions related to each of the five constructs before their experience (pre) and after their experience (post). Violin plots overlay the scatter plots and are color-coded with lighter coloring for pre data and darker coloring for post data. Students responded anonymously to each question using a 4-point Likert scale as shown on the left. Solid circles represent pre and post means. Percent change is presented for each construct; all values (except as noted by *) are statistically significant, ≤0.001 based on the student’s paired t test. *Statistical significance is 0.04. Mean pre and post values are provided in Supplementary Table 3. B Circular bar chart summarizes the percent change for each construct. Supplementary Fig. 1 shares a line chart as an alternative view, from the circular bar chart, summarizing the percent change for each construct.
