Action-driven approach
https://www.upf.edu/web/mdm-dtic/gender-and-ict
- Different actions for different target
populations
- A transversal issue - stereotypes.
- Under-representation seems higher
than real due to additional lack of
visibility
- Positive message. Yes, there are!

Girl-only events
> 1.000 participants
(incl. families)
> 80 volunteers

● Effect in families (mothers AND fathers) - identification of “activity for my daughter” when
labelled as “Girl-”
● The world is already extremely labelled (explicitly or implicitly) with activities for boys / girls
Informal feedback:
● “I am surprised that teachers were beautiful” (7-year girl)
● “Where can I find more activities for girls and technology?” - mother

Girl-only events
Needed, but with limitations:
● Extra resources needed. Only sustainable if an explicit commitment is done
● They tried, they liked… what’s next for them?

Action-driven approach -
gender perspective in ALL
actions

Gender-balanced events
https://www.upf.edu/web/mdm-dtic/american-space
Gender parity guaranteed in
registration. Effect:
- Tickets for boys quickly
disappear
- Tickets for girls are slowly
taken
- “Push” to relax the gender
requirement to respond to
demand
- But we always get parity

Gender-balanced events
Needed, but with limitations:
● Need to make the message explicit and impact beyond the
specific course
● What about all those girls (and boys) who are not interested in
technology (but are influencers)

Action-driven approach -
gender perspective in
actions targeting girls AND
boys

Actions for girls AND boys
From presentation by Pallabi Sengupta, DTIC PhD seminars
https://www.upf.edu/web/mdm-dtic/talks-and-networks

Actions for girls AND boys
● Mothers overestimate the capacities of babies if they are boys, underestimate
them if they are girls
● Ability and brilliance (boys, later men) vs hard-work (girls, later women)

Actions for girls AND boys
● Unconscious bias
● Stereotype threat
● Imagine an engineer

PARKER, LYNNE. PANEL: ENGAGING WOMEN IN ROBOTICS

Alex Goldstein

This document summarizes a panel discussion on engaging women in robotics. The panelists discussed how efforts to promote women in STEM fields through programs like camps and scholarships have had limited success. They questioned how many women are currently in robotics roles across academia, government and industry. The panelists were interested in better understanding the experiences of women in robotics careers, including when they enter the field, if/when they leave, and strategies for effective engagement and retention. They also discussed the need for metrics to track progress and potential changes to educational curricula. Examples of efforts to promote women in robotics, like a girls-focused robotics competition at ICRA 2015, were provided. The panel concluded with a

Women in Technology: Bridging the Gender Gap

Rebecca Ralston

Science and technology are fundamental factors in the growth and development of every society. Strong STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education is vital to students’ success in an increasingly technological and global economy. It is a critical building block for exploration, innovation, and the economy, and the catalyst to attack problems affecting the world… and it is a catalyst for jobs. The under-representation of women in STEM fields is a potentially massive loss economically.

The document discusses the digital divide and how it relates to gender. It defines key terms like digital divide and gender. It explores issues around the gender digital divide, how it impacts women's access and use of technology. Specific examples are given around differences in gender and tech usage in countries like the US, UK, Asia, and Africa. The conclusion recognizes that while progress has been made, more needs to be done to overcome barriers and empower women regarding information and communication technologies.

Why we need more women in science and tech

Shiftbalance

Women represent less than 20% of tech leadership positions worldwide. In the EU, the average of women graduating in STEM is 11% and numbers are dropping. As professionals, women leave the tech industry twice as much as men. WHY? Because we socialize them to. Because the work environment is still massively hostile. Because they lack mentorship and role models. And yet, the future is in code. 80% of the jobs in the next decade will require technological skills. And because technology will shape the future. With the rise of AI and robots, what will happen if we let women out of it? So let's check which initiatives exist to shift the balance in tech!

Education 3.0 - Catch a strand from the future!

Gilly Salmon

Professor Gilly Salmon discusses envisioning the future of education (Education 3.0) and shaping it proactively. She emphasizes disrupting oneself, taking action to create preferred futures, and having a vision to guide strategy. Education is framed as a complex adaptive system with 8 interdependent components. The presentation encourages audiences to imagine future strands, understand education's complexity, and make a difference by shaping viable preferred futures.

Its objective is a complex analysis of the conditions relating to the choice of technical and scientific education path by women, their aspirations and expectations, as well as realisation of these aspirations on the labour market. During this year-long project we analysed the issue of why young women do or do not choose technical and scientific studies (from the STEM area), how they evaluate their preparation to build a career in the technology industry, how well they do at technical HEIs, their approach to studying and further activity in fields dominated by men. We also studied how the labour market is prepared to receive them. During the research the values brought by women into the technology industry were defined, as well as the policies of technology companies related to their presence. We have also verified the thesis about increased employment of women by the innovative sector of industry in the recent years and their larger presence in companies’ management. The Women’s Potential report is a pioneering work in Poland and constitutes completion and extension of efforts made by Perspektywy Education and Siemens Poland

Girls and Technology

Lori

American schools need to promote STEM education to compete globally and prepare students for technical jobs of the future. Younger students, especially girls, have little interest and experience in technology fields. Schools should design courses and projects with girls in mind, using interesting titles and contextual, collaborative projects and choices. Effective methods for attracting and retaining girls include early exposure, role models, and building confidence without competition.

The document discusses a study on gender differences in computer use and training in Africa. The study was conducted by the PanAf network across 9 countries and examined data from 260,000 students, 9,000 teachers and 300 administrators regarding their access to and use of computers and the internet as well as training levels. The results showed gender differences in almost all indicators, with males having greater access to computers, the internet and training opportunities than females among all groups studied.

Lf And Singularity

FLACSO

The document discusses the need for education to focus on sustainable innovation in order to prepare students for the impacts of emerging technologies. It defines sustainable innovation as continuous innovation that allows humans to adapt to rapid changes. It also defines the technological singularity as the outcome of converging technologies like robotics and biotechnology that will lead to the emergence of transhumans and eventually posthumans. It argues that education must "leapfrog" by using new technologies to move beyond memorization and allow students to be more creative and innovative. Schools need to balance tradition with preparing students to develop global solutions and contribute to the singularity through sustainable innovation.

Harkins Mexico 2030

John Moravec

The document proposes adopting "Leapfrog Principles" to transform higher education institutions into "Leapfrog Campuses" that prepare students for the 21st century knowledge economy. The principles include leading rather than catching up, involving students in all phases, and reframing students as knowledge producers and innovators. Technologies would help students develop creativity and immediately become productive workers. Chinese institutions are collaborating to develop Leapfrog practices and research their effectiveness. The University of Minnesota is establishing Leapfrog Institutes to apply these principles through various projects.

Hungary (JTET) Sustainable Innovation

John Moravec

The document discusses designing education around the concept of "Sustainable Innovation" to prepare students for emerging technological changes predicted by the "Technological Singularity". It defines the Singularity as the outcome of converging technologies producing "Trans-Humans" and potentially "Post-Humans". It advocates a "Leapfrog" approach to education using advanced technologies to move from memorization to creative knowledge production, blending formal and informal learning to support Sustainable Innovation.
