The issue related to the gender gap in STEM pathways has, in recent years, been the subject of attention by pedagogical and educational research. The stereotypical perception of occupations in relation to gender, which, in accordance with studies in the literature, begins to emerge as early as the first years of education, invites reflection on the importance of initiating boys and girls into early scientific experiences in order to bring about a reversal. From this perspective, the use of digital devices and technological artifacts can foster improved learning in STEM education. The research presented in the following contribution brings out the teacher as the central figure in the educational system and therefore also those to be explored in a reflective form in order to generate a more conscious environment open to change. The specific group of female professionals involved acts as a support to restore meaning to the educational experience and bring out from the explored context the elements of a design able to intercept the critical issues related to the gender gap in STEM fields and trace trajectories of awareness for a culture of education able to act on changes and gender biases, starting from the quality of daily practice.
