"Despite nearly 30 years of efforts to engage girls in physical sciences and engineering, the gender gap continues in the scientificvocations. On the other hand, meanwhile the demand of graduates in those fields continues to grow, the scientific vocationamong the young students is increasingly low.Answering to that need, the main objective of this project is to raise and share good science education practices for genderbalance through an innovative Teacher Training programme. The programme has been tested and implemented in eightcountries and disseminated in a digital toolkit format(http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/projects/eplus-project-details/#project/8765239d-c6c1-4bcb-804a-a938f5b583cf).The reason why the consortium prefered to disseminate the website of the toolkit and not directly the toolkit pdf file is that thedeveloped toolkit has some web resources, that are included in the website:Final toolkit (English): https://stingeuproject.com/toolkit/Web resources for the toolkit (English): https://stingeuproject.com/toolkit-web-resources/It has a Basque version too:Final toolkit (Basque): https://sting2017.wordpress.com/tresna-sorta/Web resources for the toolkit: https://sting2017.wordpress.com/baliabideak/Eight organizations participated as partners in the project. Elhuyar foundation as coordinator (Spain), Experimentarium ScienceMuseum (Denmark), Hiša eksperimentov Science Museum (Slovenia), Nemo Science Museum (Netherlands), EuropeanUniversity Cyprus (Cyprus), Hacettepe University (Turkey), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway) and StMary's University College (United Kingdom). The consortium is formed by a science communication foundation, three sciencecentres and four universities.The project started with the development of the theoretical framework for the Teacher Training programme, and continued withthe design of the first version. When the first version of the Teacher Training programme was ready, the teacher trainers of thepartner organisations took part in an international training (Amsterdam, November 2015). The project continued with the trained professionals celebrating nine local workshops with STEM teachers, head teachers, directors and policy makers. After that, teachers fromeight countries tested the developed programme. The pilot finished with the preparation of the final version of the TeacherTraining programme (""Final Toolkit"").STING shared the Teacher Training programme toolkit via workshops, conferences and face-to-face meetings with policymakers, teacher trainers and other stakeholders. Besides, it is accessible to anyone interested though the digital toolkit version(https://stingeuproject.com). The project made a next step based in the outputs of several European project outputs, creatingshared knowledge, reflected in a modular toolkit that was tested and implemented locally and disseminated globally. In long-termthe aims of the outputs of the project are to improve practices and new policies, being a resource for other European initiativesrelated with gender issues in STEM education."

<< Objectives >>The first objective is to construct and launch an online course (a MOOC) aiming at professional development for science teachers in Europe in order to increase their agency in teaching about state-of-the-art research and particle accelerators. The second obejctive is to evaluate teachers' experiences from participating in the MOOC and from using the digital resources in their classrooms.<< Implementation >>The acitivities involve putting together existing and new online digital resourses into the MOOC, disseminate the MOOC through EUN, CERN, ESS and three science and technology centers, exploring teachers experiences from the course and from their classroom activities, compile the results in a report to ministries of education for further dissemination.<< Results >>1. Create a MOOC for increasing teachers’ confidence and subject knowledge in key areas of the science curriculum,2. Increased knowledge on teachers' experiences from taking the MOOC and doing classroom activities
