This study was to design and explore the effects of an enrichment program on the leadership, attitude, and motivation of ethnic minority gifted and talented students who want to be scientists and engineers in the future. Ten gifted and talented students participated in this study, Youth Science and Technology Leadership Camp (YSTLC). A leadership test was developed and implemented to the participants as a pre-test and post-test. The daily reports and interviews at the end of the camp examined their understanding of personal openness and attitudes toward being scientists and engineers. The enrichment program YSTLC improved their leadership and their knowledge of and attitude toward science and engineering for their future careers. This research highlights the importance of developing enrichment programs with a framework of effective methodologies that can be used to educate gifted and talented students, including minority students, to develop strong leadership skills, scientific knowledge, and perspicuous visions for their future.
