Women and occupations in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematcis: activity booklet

Introduction The presence of women in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) careers is still lower than the male counterpart. Several programs worldwide have encouraged women projects on STEAM when still young girls, so they feel more confident on pursuing careers on such fields. ABOUT THE PROJECT Urbanism Undergraduate course at UFSM in partnership with PROPAR/UFRGS by means of female bachelors in Architecture and Civil Engineering. The Vicente Farencena Elementary School in Santa Maria, RS, was the first institution to embrace the proposed activities in this community project, which aims at developing activities for the early years (1st to 5th grade) that work with themes of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape Architecture. The proposed activities are related to the disciplines of mathematics, geography, history, and also the development of civic-related topics, such as the relationship with the city and sustainability. The activities are guided by the presentation of a woman as a prominent professional in the STEAM field.
