Abstract

Nowadays, the diversity gap in STEM, with a special focus on the gender gap, is a worldwide challenge. A sustainable society cannot be achieved until society is represented in the STEM sectors that have such an impact on its development. The CreaSTEAM project is focused on mapping best practices in STEAM and creating STEAM-Labs in secondary schools in order to reduce diversity gaps, for example, gender, social or cultural background. With the aim to create adequate spaces according to the characteristics and possibilities of schools, this chapter addresses how to design and implement a training process for teachers and institutions that allows the design and implementation of STEAM-Labs in educational centers.
