Ruiz-Bartolomé, Erica Greca Dufranc, Ileana María STEM Gender gap Competencies Self-concept The gender gap in STEM areas is still a reality that constitutes a global concern. Many initiatives have sought to strengthen the scientific-technological aspirations of girls, among them extracurricular programs such as the one we present here. Its design is based on the available scientific evidence to promote female interest and self-concept in those areas. In this study, we analyze the impact of the extracurricular activities on the development of competencies and perceptive selfevaluation skills among eight girls aged between 8 and 11 years old regarding science and technology. The results showed the effectiveness of the extracurricular activities both for the development of skills and for the improvement of levels of self-concept, interest, and participation, which leads us to highlight the need to promote initiatives of this sort in order to overcome gender stereotypes and to achieve equality. 2023-03-07 2023-03-07 2023-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7505 10.3390/educsci13010070 2227-7102 eng Education Sciences. 2023, V. 13, n. 1, 70 https://doi.org/10.3390/educsci13010070 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/FECYT//FCT-19-15075/ES/PODEROSAS/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Atribución 4.0 Internacional MDPI
