STEM Education for Women and Girls (Pilot project proposal)

To support the Vietnamese government’s efforts to promote women and girls’ participation in STEM, Kenan VN has developed Proposal ‘A.’ The proposal will be piloted in Bac Ninh province, targeting secondary school girls and teachers. The proposal’s primary focus is to enhance gender skills and awareness among female STEM teachers and provide hands-on training on how to encourage and motivate women and girls to participate in green STEM clubs and activities.

Specifically, using the activity model of green STEM clubs run by experts and trained teachers, female students can participate in club activities such as learning and practicing the process of building a project on a scientific product and participating in competitions at all levels with their project models. They will also receive training on soft skills crucial in the 21st century, such as critical thinking, teamwork, creativity, and presentation skills. This project will serve as a pilot model that can be applied and replicated nationwide.
