About
Dr. Jaimie L. Miller is a dedicated researcher in STEM education, with a focused commitment to broadening participation among girls and underserved youth. Her work centers on understanding and dismantling the barriers that prevent these groups from pursuing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers. Dr. Miller’s major contributions are exemplified by the ITEAMS (Innovative Technology-Enabled Astronomy for Middle Schools) project, an out-of-school-time program designed to make STEM learning accessible and engaging. Her early findings, published in 2012, demonstrated that this technology-based intervention could significantly increase students’ self-identification with STEM fields, a critical psychological precursor to career pursuit. This work, which has garnered foundational citations, highlights the efficacy of informal learning environments in fostering both fundamental science knowledge and long-term career interest. By targeting urban students in Eastern Massachusetts, Dr. Miller’s research provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to create more equitable pathways into STEM. Her pioneering efforts in this area continue to inform best practices for inclusive STEM education.
