Item After-School STEM Programs and the Impact on 21st Century Skill Development(2021-12-13) Dees, Sara Katherine; Willis, JanaThis thesis used data collected from an online survey of 22 Code Ninjas employees in the United States to determine the impact of an after-school science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program on students’ development of 21st-century skills. This study’s findings indicated most owners and Center Directors agree social skills and creative thinking skills are improved through enrollment in an after-school program like Code Ninjas. More than half of the participants shared first-hand accounts of instances where students demonstrated 21st-century skills while working in the Code Ninjas program.
