The whole economy of modern societies rotates directly or indirectly around the STEM disciplines, so it is impossible to find a part of society that somehow does not interact with them: in fact, in its broader definition STEM Education includes the fields of information technology, engineering, earth sciences, science, mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, life sciences. According to EU estimates, employment in the STEM professions is expected to grow nearly twice as fast as the average for other jobs, and it is estimated that by 2025 there will be a shortage of more than half a million workers in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Furthermore, it should be noted that among the most frequent causes of school dropout there are the failures that students experience in learning mathematical and technological-scientific disciplines; students who leave school prematurely find themselves with low basic skills that affect their employability.
