No gender Gap! is the KA2 project co-financed by the Erasmus + program and with the objectives of developing a methodology and an educational platform dedicated to girls and women in difficult situations to support their technical-scientific learning.

Partners of the project are the Spanish association Building Bridges (lead partner), School of Robotics, the German non-profit organization Weltgewandt, the Dutch International Labour Association, and the Portuguese company Previform.

The project website: https://www.yeseuropa.org/nogendergap

In August the platforms containing the STEM courses, and in particular educational robotics, were published. The courses are in English and in partners’ languages.

To access the platform in the Italian language here: https://canvas.instructure.com/enroll/L6NNLT

The page requires only the subscription with your email and confirm the subscription.

The course topics are listed below and include many exercises that can be done with a simple Arduino kit.
