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 bring together educators and community stakeholders interested in supporting gender equality in STEM/STEAM education, research and IT. The Hubs promote these goals by fostering collaboration, sharing best practices and addressing gender bias in teaching
