"ESRC : Louise Couceiro : ES/P000681/1" In recent years, there has been a surge in non-profit organisations providing free online resources aiming to inspire girls to 'get into STEM' in Canada. Resources include instructional videos, blog posts and 'role model' biographies of women working in STEM. To maximise the potential of these online educational resources, research is urgently needed to better understand the content, the objectives behind their development, and how they are being used. This project aims to do this by focusing on the work of three non-profit organisations: Science World, the Canadian Association for Girls in Science and STEMforGIRLS. Following analysis of the organisations' online resources, I will conduct interviews with developers and a group of girls who are engaging/have engaged with the resources. The findings will be invaluable for the development of future resources and the evaluation of similar initiatives.

“ESRC：路易丝·库塞罗：ES/P000681/1”近年来，提供免费在线资源的非营利组织数量激增，旨在鼓励加拿大女孩'进入STEM'。资源包括教学视频、博客文章和在STEM工作的女性的“榜样”传记。为了最大限度地发挥这些在线教育资源的潜力，迫切需要进行研究，以更好地了解其内容，开发背后的目标以及如何使用它们。该项目旨在通过关注三个非营利组织的工作来做到这一点：科学世界，加拿大科学女孩协会和STEMforGIRLS。在对组织的在线资源进行分析之后，我将与开发人员和一群正在/已经参与资源的女孩进行访谈。调查结果对于今后开发资源和评价类似举措将是非常宝贵的。
