Description
ABSTRACT The ASU SIFE Team participated in developed a program that was funded by a grant from the Horizon Institute of Technology. This program offered 28 at-risk students from two Arkansas delta school districts, Osceola and Forrest City, an opportunity to explore the role of technology in a free market economic system and to motivate them to pursue careers in the areas of math, science, business, entrepreneurship and technology. We examined the results to determine the effectiveness of the program using raw data, standard regression analysis and loglinear models and determine the significance of 8 factors in success on the MAME; Age, gender, race, access to home computer, education level of mother, education level of father, hours of computer use at school, and hours of play on computer video games as dependent variables. The independent variable was the score on the MAME Standardized Test. Of the factors tested; Age, ownership of home computer, success in the program; mothers education level, hours of computer use at school, and hours of play on computer video games were all significant at the .01 level. Only gender, race and father's education were not significant at the .01 level of significance.
