Overview

Pre-post survey evaluation demonstrates increased technical engagement and competition awareness among female secondary students, indicating the utility of structured mentorship programs.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of a structured mentorship and resource aggregation initiative on guidance deficits, competition awareness, and technical engagement among female secondary school students.
  • Administered pre- and post-intervention self-report surveys to workshop cohorts and platform participants (N = 450 at baseline).
  • Assessed self-reported metrics across academic counseling access, international competition awareness, problem-solving confidence, and six-month project submission rates.
  • Self-reported guidance access increased from 16.4% at baseline (83.6% lacking access) to 88.2% post-intervention, while competition awareness rose from 21.8% (78.2% lacking awareness) to 94.7%.
  • Self-reported problem-solving confidence reached 85.1% post-intervention, and 41.2% of participants submitted an independent technical project or competition entry within six months.
