abstract
- In Latin America, Universities recognize that it is not enough to ensure the participation of equal numbers of men and women in the classrooms. In this sense, promoting the inclusion of women in STEM areas is a relevant issue for the region. This article presents the results of measuring students¿ perceived achievement of scientific-technological entrepreneurship and complex thinking competencies after participating in science club activities (Mexico). The analytical methodology included descriptive statistics and analyses performed with Minitab statistical software. The educational activities of science clubs impact the development of both competencies, showing a positive correlation regardless of the participant¿s gender. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
