Abstract

With women underrepresented in STEM disciplines, there is a focus on encouraging females to pursue careers in STEM fields [1], such as Physics. Research suggests that enrichment programs enhance interest in pursuing a STEM career [1], however knowledge on the most effective enrichment method is limited. The aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of different enrichment methods on female year nine students’ interest in physics.
