Kicking off on Tuesday, June 20, is the first of two residential guidance courses of the project "STEM, girls get into the game!" The initiative aims to promote the choice to enroll in STEM (an acronym for "Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics") degree programs. The 75 participants, selected from students of high merit, daughters of parents who have not graduated, will have the opportunity to engage with faculty and experts on the challenges of tomorrow's world and to learn about the content and perspectives opened up by the study of disciplines such as biotechnology, robotics, computer science and physics, interacting with personalities of international scientific prominence. During their stay, the participants will be housed in the facilities of the Sant'Anna School, thus enjoying the experience of college life. The courses take place from June 20 to 23 and July 18 to 21.

The STEM project enjoys the financial support of the Fondazione Il Talento all'Opera and is supported by PagoPA, which has confirmed its commitment for next years' editions as well, confirming its constant focus on orientation and university education, which are combined with the recognition of merit.
