Camp Tecnologico (http://camptecnologico.com/) es una iniciativa educativa que persegueix despertar l’interès per STEM dels més joves. Originari del PaÃs Basc, ofereix diferents activitats de pagament (activitats extraescolars, campus/casals, tallers i formació de formadors).
El seu à mbit d’actuació no es limita al PaÃs Basc sinó i actualment ofereixen activitats a més de 10 ciutats
Goldie Blox (www.goldieblox.com), s’autodefineix com a engineering toys for girls. Es una botiga que ven productes per nenes orientats a augmentar l’interés per la construcció i les diferents à rees STEM, fent que les anomenades “joguines per nens” també ho puguin ser per nenes.
Amb aquest segon anunci hi ha hagut certa polèmica:
GoldieBlox Apologizes to Beasties: ‘We Have Learned a Valuable Lesson’

The legal morass began when the hip-hop group claimed copyright infringement over GoldieBlox’s parody of “Girls,” which changed the lyrics from “Girls/To do my dishes/Girls/To clean up my room” to “Girls/To build a spaceship/Girls/To code the new app.” GoldieBlox filed an official lawsuit against the group, arguing that the ad was a parody and therefore protected under fair use. The company claimed they wanted to “break down gender stereotypes and to encourage young girls to engage in activities that challenge their intellect, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.”
