Making to Advance Knowledge, Excellence, and Recognition in STEM" (MAKERS) project consists of six institutions, namely two majority institutions Auburn University and Auburn University Montgomery, two HBCUs Tuskegee University and Alabama A&M University, and two community colleges Southern Union State Community College and Lawson State Community College, with evaluation support from Oakland University. This team of institutions provides scholarships to students majoring in the biological, physical, mathematical, geological, computer and information sciences; engineering; and associated technology areas. In this talk, we will present the MAKERS S-STEM model which is designed to integrate STEM enrichment, research, and peripheral activities. MAKERS' hallmark intervention is the "Learning by Making," which involves interdisciplinary Scholar clusters identifying and investigating problems affecting their local communities, and applying their STEM knowledge to "make" a product that has the potential to solve those problems.<br/>
