摘要

EPIC (Engineering Possibilities in College) is a week-long summer camp designed to encourage middle and high school students to consider pursuing engineering in college. Since it first began in 2007 with 20 female high school students, it has grown to serve over 600 middle and high school students with four one-week sessions. Recently, EPIC partnered with the Migrant Education Program (MEP), a federal program that provides academic support to children of migrant workers in agriculture, diary, or fishing industries. For the past two summers, MEP students have made up 50% (about 80 students) of the middle school week. Though EPIC has always focused on attracting and engaging a diverse set of students, EPIC was not originally designed to meet the specific needs of MEP students. MEP students typically experience frequent relocation as their parents find work which can cause disruptions in their academics and social lives. For most MEP students, English is their second language, and a large number of the students do not speak Spanish but rather a dialect of Mixteca. Thus, even in their "native countries" they were already at a disadvantage for not speaking Spanish, and most of their parents did not attend grade school. These students were enrolled in EPIC through their MEP chapter, so many students may have felt that they were placed in the camp versus selecting it for themselves, and for most students, it was their first experience at an overnight camp. In our attempt to ensure a positive EPIC experience for all students, we provided an inclusivity training for camp counselors and lab instructors. We also translated some camp materials in Spanish, and some of the EPIC counselors and staff members were bilingual.
