Encuentro de Mujeres en Ciencia y Tecnología Biobío Universidad Andrés Bello - (CL), Chile The project “Women in Science and Technology Biobío Meeting,” an initiative created by the Faculty of Engineering of Universidad Andrés Bello to reduce the gender gap in STEM areas. Currently, female participation in these disciplines is low, both nationally and institutionally, due to factors such as social stereotypes and low self-perception of scientific skills among young people. In response to this scenario, the program seeks to motivate and empower high school students, introducing them early to science and technology. Since its beginning as a pilot with 50 girls, it has grown significantly, currently attracting around 300 participants per edition and exceeding 1,200 beneficiaries. Its impact has allowed the initiative to be replicated in two regions of the country. The meeting includes talks by prominent women in scientific and technological fields, who share their experiences to inspire the participants.In addition, practical workshops are developed in various engineering and science disciplines, such as robotics, geology, chemistry, or renewable energies, facilitating active learning close to the university reality. | |
