• Resumen

  • STEM disciplines present a low number of female vocations. In the Campus of Ourense (University of Vigo),women from Science and Engineering fields have promoted a non-university student’s competition and a fair called “eXXperimenta en feminino” in order to make visible the role of women in STEM to students of secondary and high school. The motivation behind these actions is to highlight the role of womenin the STEM disciplines and attract female students to those studies, which have a low percentage of enrollment of women.The results and conclusions of those initiatives are presented in this work. Regarding the opinions provided by participants, the events have achieved a high satisfaction level.
