STEAMpreneurs

A gender-responsive approach to promote STEAM & ICT studies and careers

AIM

The project STEAMpreneurs proposes a multilevel cross border and cross-sectoral approach to increase interest and excellence
in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) & ICT (Information and Communication Technology) studies,
with a strong emphasis on gender equality, digital transformation, and innovation in schools. The project also aims to empower teachers, students, parents, non-formal educators and other important stakeholders to overcome gender biases and create inclusive learning environments that foster digital, green, and entrepreneurial skills.

NEWS

STEAMpreneurs project officially launched!

STEAMpreneurs – A gender-responsive approach to promote STEAM & ICT studies and careers project officially started in September 2025, bringing together partners from Cyprus, Greece, and Serbia with the mission to inspire young people, especially girls, to explore STEAM and ICT pathways through innovation, entrepreneurship, and real-life role models.

To mark the beginning of our collaboration, the project partners met in Cyprus in early November 2025 for the Kick-off Meeting, hosted at Pagkyprion Gymnasion. During this two-day meeting, partners aligned on the project’s vision, objectives, activities, and implementation timeline, laying strong foundations for effective collaboration over the next two years.

The consortium is now actively working on the development of the STEAMpreneurs podcast series, which will feature inspiring women role models from STEAM and ICT fields, as well as on the preparation of online events planned for Fall 2026. These activities aim to motivate students, challenge gender stereotypes, and strengthen connections between education, technology, and innovation.

Stay tuned as STEAMpreneurs continues to grow, engage schools and communities, and empower the next generation of changemakers in STEAM!
