The Gender and Diversities Institute at Education Development Center, Inc. is developing and maintaining a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) career development digital library - CaREN, l. or the Career Resources Education Network for STEM- targeted toward engaging middle and early high school students. The resources and, the user services and interface place particular emphasis on the needs and interests of currently underrepresented populations in STEM education and careers, including females, students of color, and youth with disabilities.The project is achieving its goals to: create and sustain an easily accessible, comprehensive career development resource that is inviting and engaging of diverse populations of middle and early high school students, and that builds on theirdiverse points of entry and interest, and draws them into an easily navigable range of career exploration options and resources in the STEM field. Among the project's activities are: 1) the design and development of the CaREN digital library based on development of the Gender and Science Digital Library; 2) the use of current research on effectively accessing and using digital resources; and, 3) utilization of national surveys and focus groups in determining how different populations of middle school students perceive their career development needs, ways that a digital library could help them, and the key components of an engaging design. CaREN's focus on underrepresented populations is serving to expose more students to STEM career options, thereby increasing their flow into the study of STEM subjects at the high school and college levels.

教育发展中心公司的性别与多样性研究所正在开发和维护科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）职业发展数字图书馆-Caren，L。或用于吸引初中和早期高中生的职业资源教育网络。资源以及用户服务和界面特别强调目前代表性不足的STEM教育和职业人群的需求和兴趣，包括女性，有色人种和残疾年轻人。该项目正在实现其目标：创造和维持易于获得，全面的职业发展资源，邀请他们邀请他们进行中等和兴趣的学生，并建立了他们的兴趣和参与，并建立了他们在中等范围内，并建立了这些份额，并建立了他们的份额，并建立了这些份额，并建立了他们的兴趣，并建立了这些份额，并将其建立在中等程度上，并将其建立成果，并建立了这些资产，并将其建立在中等水平，并促进他们的兴趣，并邀请他们进行中等范围的人群，并将其建立成果在STEM领域中易于导航的职业探索选择和资源。项目的活动包括：1）基于性别和科学数字图书馆的开发，卡伦数字图书馆的设计和开发； 2）使用当前的研究有效访问和使用数字资源； 3）利用国家调查和焦点小组来确定不同中学生的不同人群如何看待他们的职业发展需求，数字图书馆可以帮助他们的方式以及引人入胜的设计的关键组成部分。卡伦（Caren）对人口不足的人群的关注是使更多的学生接触到STEM职业选择，从而增加了他们在高中和大学级别对STEM学科的研究中的流动。
