Women remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and gender stereotypes about who is “good at” STEM appear from the first years of schooling. The lack of visible female role models reinforces them. Schools play a key role in breaking these stereotypes, which makes teacher education a strategic place to act. This line studies how gender shapes students’ participation and interest in STEM and develops teaching proposals that promote equal opportunities from Early Childhood Education onwards, including the presence of women STEM researchers in teacher training and in the classroom.
