A computer and projector can be useful.
TEACHING PRACTICE (STEP BY STEP):
The main goal of the material is to show students that there have always been women in STEM, and that the only barriers for girls in choosing a STEM career are social and prejudicial.
The activities are described step by step and can be used at all ages and levels and they are a good starting point for career orientation. They can be used to encourage talented girls to pursue their dreams, even if they feel too hard to achieve.
