E-Book

This e-book brings together 12 inspiring stories about extraordinary women who have made a difference in the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
Each story introduces a woman from a different country, time period, or cultural background, offering children a rich and inclusive view of what success in STEM can look like.

Among the featured role models are: Ana Mayer-Kansky, Andreja Gomboc, Asta Hampe, Domitila de Carvalho, Elvira Fortunato, Emmy Noether, Maryam Mirzakhani, Rita Levi-Montalcini, Rose Dieng-Kuntz, Samantha Cristoforetti, Zita Martins, and Ángela Piskernik.


Every STEAM Tale begins with a glimpse into the woman’s childhood, helping children connect with her story and see that even the most accomplished scientists and explorers were once children just like them. Through real-life journeys filled with challenges, determination, and breakthroughs, the stories highlight important values like curiosity, resilience, and problem-solving.
Each tale ends with a positive and empowering message, sparking children’s imagination and encouraging them to dream big, believe in themselves, and see a future for themselves in the world of STEAM.
