Seminar: ‘Educating in technology with a gender perspective. Resources for the educational world’.
On March 29 at 5 p.m. Fundesplai and Fundación Esplai will hold the seminar: ‘Educating in technology with a gender perspective. Resources for the educational world’, within Mobile Week.
With this session we want to offer resources for educators to promote STEAM professions (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) among girls and young people. We will provide resources such as a teaching guide, a video game and a campaign to publicize women references in the fields of science and technology.
The teaching guide proposes activities and experiments to energize in class or at home to develop curiosity and critical thinking, while generating a dialogue between classmates and the educator.
The video game, #3ChicasInTech, developed by the studio Women In Games Spain, presents three historical female references in science and technology: Ada Lovelace, Katherine Johnson and Ángela Ruiz Robles.
The volunteer professionals of the STEAM for Girls program and the Woman Network of the HP company in Sant Cugat will explain how they collaborate with the project, sharing their experience in schools and entities to establish references, raise awareness and give visibility to the reality of professional women in these areas.
The seminar will also present the project Connecta Jove el Prat, a learning initiative where young ESO students receive training in technology and then put their knowledge into practice teaching older people to move in the digital world.
We will also have the presence of Núria Salán, president of the Catalan Society of Technology to introduce the current situation of women in STEAM, and the introduction of Carles Grau, by the management of Mobile World Capital and Mobile Week Barcelona.
The conference can be followed online on Tuesday, March 29 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., through the Fundación Esplai YouTube channel.
