Resumen
W-STEM is a research project funded by the European Union
through the Erasmus+ program in order to develop concrete actions to modernise
the government, management and operation of higher education institutions
in Latin America to improve women’s access to STEM programs. Among
the main objectives of the project, there is the development of a mobile app to be
used in attraction campaigns conducted by the Latin American higher education
institutions involved in the project. Specifically, the app aims to facilitate access
to the role models of women in areas related to science, technology, engineering
and mathematics. The main content inside the app will be a set of video
interviews with women from different ages, cultural backgrounds, profiles,
sharing their experiences about their careers, occupation and future plans. This
work aims to describe the prototype of the mobile app and the exploratory study
conducted with a group of students from secondary education to know their
perceptions and opinions about the proposed app and the video interviews.
