8M: Más mujeres en tecnología para un futuro más justo e innovador

8M: Más mujeres en tecnología para un futuro más justo e innovador

Uncategorized
"4th Wave Of Feminism" de Ellis van der Does Cada 8 de marzo, el Día Internacional de la Mujer nos invita a reflexionar sobre los avances conseguidos en materia de igualdad y, al mismo tiempo, sobre los desafíos que aún persisten. En el ámbito de la ciencia y la tecnología, estos retos siguen siendo especialmente visibles. A pesar de que vivimos en una sociedad profundamente digitalizada, la presencia de mujeres en el sector tecnológico continúa siendo claramente minoritaria, especialmente en los puestos de responsabilidad y liderazgo. Los datos muestran con claridad esta brecha. En España, solo alrededor del 18-19,5 % de los especialistas digitales son mujeres, según indicadores de la economía digital y estudios recientes de organismos públicos como Red.es. Además, aunque muchas empresas cuentan con profesionales TIC en sus…

Software Variability as a new Computational Thinking dimension

Software Variability as a new Computational Thinking dimension

Announcement, Product lines, Uncategorized
A new Open Educational Resource (OER) has been released to help bring software variability — an emerging and research-supported dimension of computational thinking — into the classroom.The resource encourages students to move beyond creating isolated programs and instead learn how to reason about families of related solutions through configurable systems.Designed mainly for teachers and students in secondary education and vocational training, the OER connects computational thinking with everyday situations such as customizing a smartphone or choosing options in a video game.Through interactive activities, modeling exercises, and programming tasks, learners explore how shared structures can generate multiple variations.The resource is organized into five modules, including an introduction to variability concepts, modeling with diagrams and the Universal Variability Language (UVL), metaprogramming using Snap!, a configurable maze game project, and a gamified assessment…
