Item Guía didáctica: Gender Equality in University Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-10-12) W-STEM ConsortiumGuía didáctica del curso abierto: Gender Equality in University Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)Item Gender mainstreaming in Engineering Education(Grupo GRIAL, 2022-09-21) García-Holgado, A.The invited keynote “Gender mainstreaming in Engineering Education” was held in SEFI Annual Conference on September 21, 2022, in Barcelona (Spain). The goal is present the need to improve the education for quality in the Engineering scope. The experiences are based on the work done in W-STEM ERASMUS + Capacity-building in Higher Education European Project (Ref. 598923-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP) and CreaSTEAM ERASMUS + project (Ref. 2020-1-ES01-KA201-082601).Item Attraction Campaigns to Increase the Participation of Women in Engineering Programs at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-17) Contreras-Ortiz, S. H.; Ojeda-Caicedo, V. V.; Duncan, E.; Osorio Del Valle, C.; Villa, J. L.The low participation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, is considered a critical issue in our society. It limits women's career prospects and affects the quality of science and engineering projects. The Faculty of Engineering student population at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolivar is composed of only 29% female. To reduce the gender gap, the W-STEM project team developed several activities in 2020 to attract women to the faculty of Engineering, and this poster presents the most important results of these activities.Item Teaching robotics education with a gender focus through a robotics course with Arduino: a study case in Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-17) Cano, S.In the context of W-STEM European project, a case study was applied on the teaching of educational robotics with a gender approach is presented, which is offered as a free course for schoolteachers, with participants from different countries, such as Chile and Colombia. The design of the course is focused on the interests of the female gender and following the project-based methodology, where every week classes were given virtually for a period of 2 hours. 64 students approved the course, of whom 61% were women.Item Attraction activities of W-STEM program implementing for the Universidad Tecnica del Norte team(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Tobar, L. M.; Proaño, V.; Gámez, B.; Ramirez, C.; Caraguay, J.; Vasquez, C.Currently there is a great movement to encourage women to choose careers related to the fields of science and technology, since, by different factors historically this gender has had very little representation in these areas of knowledge. In this poster, we present the main results of the activities related to UTN Attraction Campaigns during 2020 within W-STEM project context. It is important to underline that Internet connection was the biggest problem during COVID-19 pandemic to develop the attraction campaigns.Item Analysis of the strategies applied at Universidad del Norte to engage women into STEM(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Camacho Díaz, A.; García Ramos, L.; PeñaBaena Niebles, R.; Díaz Vitola, L.n the last decade, the development of the STEM careers has carried the problematic of the gender gap. With the purpose of creating better strategies and mechanisms for the attraction, access, and orientation of women into the STEM field in Latin America, the W-STEM Project implemented attraction campaigns and dissemination activities where each partner designed strategies. However, those strategies must be analysed to measure their effectiveness and adapted to the new conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this poster, Uninorte presents the strategies implemented in the institution, analysing the three main axes of the action plan, as well as the advantages and disadvantages, aiming to create a better approach. In today’s world, there still is a gender gap in STEM occupations, fuelled by gender stereotypes and extra challenges faced when women enter a male-dominated workspace. According to the World Economic Forum, female students and employees are under-represented in STEM related fields, with less than a third of female students choosing to study higher educations’ courses in subjects like math and engineering. In fact, only around 30% of the world’s researches are women and those working in the STEM field publish less and often receive less pay. This is a worldwide problematic but can be affected by other aspects like the development of the country in matter. In Latin America and the Caribbean, only 5 of the 33 countries analysed have human development index considered as ‘high’, according to UNESCO. Which leads us to pay special attention to the mater in those countries.Item Attraction campaigning of W-STEM program implementing for the Universidad de Guadalajara team(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Retamoza Vega, P. R.; Tores Ramos, S.; Fajardo Robledo, N. S.; Neri Cortés, C.; Rodríguez Betancourtt, V. M.; Pérez Carrillo, L. A.According to the Global Gender Gap Report, gender parity is crucial in a prosperous society and in a growing economy, and even though this gender parity has been improved in several areas around the world, there is still a gender gap in the educational field, specifically in disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), where globally only 35% of STEM students in higher education are women. To help reduce this gender gap, many organizations and projects, like STEM and Gender Advancement - SAGA, W-STEM, Technovation Girls, among others, have been focused on providing encouragement and role models to women, and to reduce gender stereotypes.Item Attracting Women to STEM at UCR(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Romero Chacón, R. M.; Marín Raventós, G.; de Lemos Medina, L.; Trejos Zelaya, J.; Vásquez Soto, C.In Costa Rica, there are currently many initiatives for reducing the gender gap in STEM, however it is necessary to strengthen, systematize and link them so that the desired effect can be achieved. Admission processes at our university are complex and require the participation of different instances. However, we have found a lot of willingness and desire to collaborate with the W-STEM project. It is vitally important to position this issue in the media, for this it is necessary to establish a communication strategy that includes the visibility of the work carried out by scientists and technologists in our country and the region.Item Iniciativa W-EmprendeTec(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-12) Soto Guerrero, F.Presentación de la iniciativa W-EmprendeTec de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja en la reunión del cierre del proyecto W-STEM, celebrada en Monterrey (México) los días 11 y 12 de julio de 2022.Item Tecnológico de Monterrey(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-12) Zavala, G.Presentación del Tecnológico de Monterrey, el Modelo Tec21 e Institute for the Future of Education en la reunión del cierre del proyecto W-STEM, celebrada en Monterrey (México) los días 11 y 12 de julio de 2022.
