Do you know who Warren Roebling Emily is? If I ask you who coined the expression "Matilda effect" who comes to mind? If you don't know the answer then “Find GS” is the perfect activity to propose to your female and male students, perhaps playing together with them!
Help your female and male students to find and fight gender stereotypes discovering and studying at the same time many inventions, discoveries and innovations in the scientific and STEM fields.
The Find GS activity is designed as a game that the teacher can propose as homework.
The teacher has at his disposal a deck of 100 cards, divided into 20 groups of 5, depicting clues referring to a mysterious character who worked or works in a scientific or technological field.
The 20 mysterious characters include personalities of different nationalities who have worked in different sectors of the STEM disciplines and who during their lives have had to deal with difficulties related to gender stereotypes.
The teacher will be able to assign students, individually or in pairs, a set of 5 clue cards. Purpose of the homework will be to carry out a search starting from the clues depicted on the cards to find out who they refer to.
Bring out various aspects linked to the action of gender stereotypes within the STEM disciplines which the teacher can then explore further:
Feel, Find, Fight Gender Stereotypes!
