| dc.description.abstract | This 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. | |
