STREAM IT aims to initiate change about the persisting gender inequalities in STEM education, research, and innovation to contribute to the implementation of the ‘The European Manifesto for gender-inclusive STE(A)M education and careers’.


Empowering Educators, Inspiring Futures
Teachers are key to shaping students’ STEM aspirations, but gender stereotypes often hinder progress. The STREAM IT project’s National Inspiration Hubs support STEAM educators by fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and addressing gender bias in teaching. Learn more about how we’re building a network of change across countries.
If you feel it is for you, we strongly encourage you to join the relevant Hub through a quick registration process and enjoy the supportive power of the community!
