A female engineer in every school

This paper presents a novel initiative carried out in the Spanish region of Aragon in the last three years to promote engineering vocations among primary school children, especially among girls. Another objective is to make visible the role of women in the engineering field and to put into value their contributions. To do so, women working in this areas, both from the academic and professional fields, visit schools to sensitize teachers and give a talk and run a workshop with the kids. Workshops are creative, collaborative, without a final closed result, each group creates their designs or proposes their solutions. In this way, it is intended to offer girls a positive experience that promotes their self-perceived effectiveness, accompanied by women that can represent models for them. The initiative, which has evolved over its three years of existence, aims to reverse the decline of vocations in the field of STEM careers and increase the presence of women in these studies.
