The guide "Empowering girls through STEAM: cultivating curiosity and creating opportunities" " is an introductory resource focused on fostering curiosity and creating opportunities for girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). It provides a comprehensive understanding of the STEAM approach and the use of storytelling in STEAM education, highlighting its importance and the benefits for girls. The guide delves into the barriers faced by girls in STEAM, both external and internal, and offers strategies for empowering educators, cultivating curiosity in girls through storytelling and hands-on learning for developing critical skills. Additionally, it outlines practical strategies for inclusive curriculum design, the role of parents and teachers, and promoting participation in STEAM activities to inspire and advocate for gender equality in these fields.
Here you can find a collection of 12 biographical stories of amazing and inspiring women who have worked or are working in the STEMfield. Stories are based on biographical facts that are arranged following Joseph Campbell’s monomythic model of storytelling. Special attention has been paid tomaking sure that the stories are engaging and relatable for the target audience, which is children, especially girls between 6 and 9 years. The stories follow women from their young age to successful careers with all obstacles and successes along the way and are accompanied by inviting designs and illustrations. We included women from different countries, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds. Here are our heroines: Domitila de Carvalho, Samatha Cristoforetti, Rose Dieng-Kuntz, Elvira Fortunato, Andreja Gomboc, Asta Hampe, Rita Levi-Montalcini, Zita Martins, Ana Mayer-Kansky, Maryam Mirzakhani, Emmy Noether, Ángela Piskernik.
