There is a shared lasting concern in both developed and developing countries regarding the low rates of participating women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). In this context, one of the most frequent actions is the development of STEM and coding workshops as a way to increase the presence of women in these fields. The main object of this article is not only to provide a description of the programs that support girls into STEM, but also to make a critical analysis of their design. This research employs the content analysis approach, a technique to make replicable and valid inferences from texts. The methodology sample came from a comprehensive review of 64 programs announced online that aim to support the incorporation of girls and women into STEM, particularly Information technology. As the final outcomes will show, besides the high popularity of these programs, there are important questionings regarding their design and implementation, particularly about the effectiveness of their actions in reducing the problems associated with the digital gender divide and the inclusion of women into STEM academia and STC industry.   Acabar amb la bretxa digital de gènere, ¿els clubs de programació són una solució viable? Hi ha una preocupació compartida entre països desenvolupats i en vies de desenvolupament respecte a les baixes taxes de dones en àrees STEM (ciència, tecnologia, enginyeria i matemàtiques). En aquest context, una de les estratègies més freqüents és el desenvolupament de tallers per aprendre a programar i de cursos amb activitats relacionades amb disciplines STEM, amb la finalitat d’augmentar la presència de dones en aquestes àrees. L’objectiu principal d’aquest article no és tan sols proporcionar una descripció dels programes que donen suport a la inclusió de les nenes en la ciència, sinó també fer-ne una anàlisi crítica sobre el disseny i la implementació. Aquesta investigació utilitza la tècnica d’anàlisi de contingut, una tècnica que permet fer inferències vàlides i replicables des dels textos. La mostra estadística de la metodologia prové d’una revisió exhaustiva de 64 programes anunciats en línia que tenen l’objectiu de donar suport a la incorporació de nenes i dones en les disciplines STEM, sobretot en les tecnologies de la informació. Els resultats finals demostren que, tot i la gran popularitat d’aquests programes, se’ls qüestiona força pel que fa a la seva execució, especialment l’efectivitat de les seves accions per reduir la bretxa digital de gènere i la inclusió de les dones en la ciència.   Key words: Digital gender divide, STEM girls, empowerment, coding clubs, gen¬der inequality. Paraules clau: bretxa digital de gènere, nenes STEM, empoderament, clubs de programació, iniquitat de gènere.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.

STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics. STEAM defined as the integration of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics into a new cross-disciplinary subject in schools. The concept of integrating subjects in Indonesian schools, generally is not new and has not been very successful in the past. Some people consider STEAM as an opportunity while others view it as having problems. Fenny Roshayanti is science educator and researcher that consider STEAM as an opportunity. She has involved the study of STEAM, as an author, educator, academic advisor, and seminar speaker. This article examines what it has been and continues work from Fenny Roshayanti in the science education. Our exploration uses qualitative methods of narrative approaches in the form of biographical studies. Participants as data sources were selected using a purposive sampling technique which was collected based on retrospective interview and naturalistic observation. Data's validity, reliability, and objectivity checked by using external audit techniques. This work explores the powerful of female’s personal style in developing a form of social influence based on her forms of capital as well as address the positive and negative consequences that may follow while implement and research STEAM in teaching classroom.
