摘要
The heavily globalized economy requires STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to face challenges in a variety of areas of our society. Hands-on activities provide valuable opportunities for students immediately practice what they have learned. An open question is how to apply and conduct hands-on activities in order to guarantee effectiveness in sparking STEM. In this paper, we share our experience driven from a four-year project called 'Women in STEM'. We describe four distinct strategies to offer STEM hands-on activities, named: 'STEM in our institute', 'STEM in public spaces', 'STEM in schools', and 'STEM with replication in schools'. We detail the implementation of each strategy, discussing aspects such as organization, workforce, and participants' characteristics. Although all strategies can be effective in sparking STEM, the choice for a specific strategy depends on the project's proposal and maturity.
