Resumen
La Red UNA STEM se creó en 2020 como un proyecto de extensión universitaria de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, su origen responde a la necesidad de enfrentar desafíos persistentes en la educación costarricense, tales como las brechas de género en áreas STEM y la desigualdad en el acceso a oportunidades de aprendizaje en zonas rurales. La gestión del proyecto se ha caracterizado por un enfoque colaborativo y multidisciplinario, integrando docentes de diferentes áreas y estableciendo alianzas estratégicas con instituciones nacionales como el MEP, el MICITT, la ANC y el INA, además de la participación en foros internacionales. Entre 2020 y 2025, la Red desarrolló cerca de 100 charlas y talleres dirigidos a estudiantes y docentes de primaria, secundaria y universidad, en modalidades presenciales y virtuales, alcanzando participantes tanto en Costa Rica como de otros países. Asimismo, se produjo un acervo de materiales educativos digitales, distribuidos en un sitio web, un aula virtual y un canal de YouTube, que amplificaron el alcance de las actividades.
