Women Teaching Engineering via STEM in Latin America

Abstract

Nowadays, Women are working in areas STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), but areas as: engineering are perceived as male domains and scientist as predominantly male. The advancement of Industry 4.0 has made learning competencies in areas such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) of great interest for technological development and innovation. Woman researchers wanting to find tools that support the teaching of programming for the female gender, the same female gender has been motivated to create different materials, from physical toys to frameworks. Therefore, the role of the woman who works in engineering is to motivate other girls to follow, to show them that any woman can access this set of competences. There is still a gender gap in learning. There are gender differences in learning and what motivates us to choose a career.
