These tools have been designed to be flexible and adaptable to any context.We’re glad you’re here! We need more people committed to building more inclusive and diverse academic environments in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
You can support our efforts in the following ways:
A web application designed to encourage high school students and those interested in STEM fields to discover how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics can help solve some of humanity's greatest challenges today.
The "Global Challenges and STEM Solutions" app offers an interactive experience to explore current global challenges and consider possible solutions through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
To support its use, we are sharing two supplementary resources: a visual guide for students and teaching guidelines for teachers. Each resource offers step-by-step instructions, criteria, and specific tips for making the most of the experience from different perspectives.
If you're a teacher and are interested in incorporating the app into a project with your students, contact us so we can make it happen: stem@itba.edu.ar
A step-by-step visual guide to exploring the interface and making the most of each section.
Teaching guidelines and suggestions for integrating the app into the classroom.
A wide range of practical measures that have already been implemented and tested in various institutions to attract more women to STEM fields.
Focused on designing inclusive, gender-sensitive activities, as well as improving access to STEM programs
We'd love to hear your ideas for attracting more women and underrepresented groups to STEM fields, as well as how you plan to use—or have used—the resources from ELA4ATTRACT.
"Global Challenges and STEM Solutions " is a web app that invites you to explore some of the major challenges facing humanity and to think about possible solutions from a STEM perspective.
Why?
Because we believe that the fields of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology can offer many opportunities today to address these issues, while also providing you with a rewarding, relevant, and challenging career and profession.
The app offers optional modules on current dilemmas and crises. They’re all fascinating! Plus, you’ll learn about global issues, real people and role models, and verified information and data. You’ll be able to develop creative proposals to turn global problems into opportunities for action. Are you excited yet?
This visual guide walks you through the process step by step so you can familiarize yourself with the interface, understand how to navigate the app, and get the most out of each section of the experience.
Are you already eager to dive into the world of science and technology and discover what it has to offer in solving the world's biggest problems?
"Global Challenges and STEM Solutions " is a web app designed for teenagers and young adults that invites them to explore some of the major challenges facing humanity and to think of possible solutions from a STEM perspective.
Science and technology offer diverse and valuable opportunities to develop critical thinking, environmental literacy, and civic responsibility among our students, while also providing an excellent path for future professional development. Providing experiences and opportunities for exploration from an early age is critical and essential!
" Guidelines for Designing Educational Experiences" provides interactive materials designed to support teaching teams in integrating the "Global Challenges and STEM Solutions" app into their instruction. This resource offers criteria and guidance for designing context-based, interdisciplinary teaching activities based on real-world problems and a STEM perspective.
Throughout the tour, key points are covered to:
This document provides an introduction to the app, helps you make instructional decisions, and allows you to explore new opportunities for teaching curriculum content from a STEM perspective.
