We've already accomplished a critical part. And we can do that from a very young age. With a box of home experiments, a magnifying glass, let them solve mathematical problems in the supermarket, see the stars with a telescope, etc. There are also very beautiful books with illustrations adapted for children that tell the lives of relevant women in the world of science such as Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie and many others. Reading always fosters curiosity. 3. Offer them examples to follow A study by Gender Bias Without Borders , shows.

That the representation on the big screens of women scientists is only 12. It has also been shown that girls  careers are more likely to choose a profession in this field. In this sense, it can help to talk to women in the circle of friends or family who have studied science and photo editor tell the little ones about their experience. Of course, each and every one has to study what they like best, but if we manage to raise the interest of girls in STEM careers, we have taken a step towards gender equality by promoting the participation of women in the professions of the future.



Telefónica bets on girls in STEM careers On the one hand, at Telefónica we collaborate with Inspiring Girls Internacional , an online platform whose objective is to inspire girls to study science, sharing real stories of professional women in this field. In addition, the event organized by Telefónica GirlsTech2020 in which girls between the ages of 10 and 14 participated tried to bring them closer to concepts such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Programming, as well as Hacking . Through women hackers, they tried to encourage the participation of girls in STEM careers.
