Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are key drivers of a fast-changing world and provide skills to solve challenges in such an environment. Adolescence, especially the high school-to-college transition, is characterized by large divergences in youth's STEM pathways, but the reasons for this divergence remain unclear…
