Description

This project aims to promote gender inclusion in STEM education at the University of Padova, Italy. The project has examined the level of awareness among secondary education students regarding gender disparities in STEM fields and attempts to develop new initiatives to improve academic guidance and challenge stereotypes and biases that may discourage students from pursuing Physics and other STEM fields. The project was initiated with an on-site questionnaire and a focus group gathering preliminary results and identifying needs and deficiencies that may prevent enrollment in STEM degree courses.
