The collection contains workshops, speed dating, card games, debate scenarios and plays drawn from good practices across Europe. Each activity, called module, has a central focus on gender-inclusive ways of communicating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), empowering teenagers and exploring the range of skills that are needed for a great variety of STEM studies and careers open to young people. Every activity contains gender and facilitation guidelines and can be implemented by teachers, informal learning organisations, researchers and industry.

Hypatia

The Hypatia project engaged with 13-18 year old girls both in and out of the school environment. To do this, Hypatia brought science centres and museums, schools, research institutions and industry together with gender experts and teenagers themselves.
