This research group aims to promote the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines from their social side.

One way to achieve greater motivation of STEM students, from a didactic point of view, is through contextualization, illustrating the teaching of basic sciences through technological or engineering applications.

On the other hand, it is well known that the STEM disciplines are fields where students have strong biases. It is necessary to know the reasons that cause a lower representation of certain groups and its historical basis (for reasons of gender, race, culture, economic level…) in order to design tools that contribute to equal opportunities.

Likewise, it is intended to promote the study of scientific, technical and industrial cultural heritage with the aim of making visible the historical impact that science and technology have had on our society and as a basic tool for humanistic training in the STEM disciplines.
