To increase African American female participation in cybersecurity, STEM education requires a new approach to student engagement. The most common approach to engaging more African American women in STEM is to provide students with professional images or role models active in STEM; however, this is not enough.

In this work, culturally responsive teaching strategies (CRT) are used to engage African American female middle school participants in a summer program.
