One of good Estonian role models could be Mart Noorma, who was the leader of the EstCube project - the first Estonian satellite built by students from Tartu University.(www.estcube.eu)
He is very busy so it's not easy to invite him personally but I would find materials in the web to show him as a role model.

Astrobiology is an example of a STEM subject: there are inherently many disciplines involved in its development. We encourage students to investigate in Astrobiology: planets, habitability conditions, space exploration, involved institutions, robotics, etc. We always try to visit the Astrobiology Center, see and talk to researchers. In this sense, a great friend of our school is Carlos Briones.

In our class, we often recive the visit of any scientific, who talks to students, shows them his o her work, encourages them to participate in the research, and collaborates with teachers to carry out different complementary didactic activities.
Recently, we have worked in class about , a famous Spanish scientific: Javier Cacho, who has had a great career as a researcher and scientific disseminator since the 1970s. Students interview him , and he provided them information and resources related to his latest work in the Arctic.

as a national Stem role model from Italy I would choose Rita Levi Moltancini or Margherita Hack who were a model for me as a little girl, than as a student and later as a teacher. the way they had to present their eideas and to show their love for science is a great model and a greater one if we underline the fact that they are women.

Unfortunately, I don't think that any phisic or biologist will be a good role model of my country due to the lack of invest in these files. However, I think a role model related with new technologies will be the best option for my country. I will integrate this person in a lesson organising an skype talk with him or her. He or she will talk about how important it is to work hard to achieve your dreams. He or she will talk about his personal experience, the drawbacks that he or she had to overcome to arrive where he or she is now and explain why this effort is now worth it.

There are some example for STEM Carrers for italian girls: Laura Iris Ferro (in the biotechnology field), Fabiola Gianotti (Perhaps today the most famous Italian physics in the world), Samantha Cristoforetti (astronaut), Rita Levi Montalcini (Nobel Prize for Medicine), Margherita Hack (Scientist and astrophysics) and other. It's no easy talking about them with my young students but a try it every day.

Two former students of our school were awarded  the Nobel Prize, i.e. Czeslaw Milosz and Andrew Schally. I think both of them are perfect role models, yet Andrew Shalley's  sphere of work is more related to STEM. Andrew V. Schally, PhD, MDhc (Multi), D.Sc,hc
Distinguished Medical Research Scientist
International Medicine Institute Research Scientist
Head of The Endocrine, Polypeptide and Cancer Institute.  In spite of all the hardships of the II World War he managed to gain perfect education, made  great discoveries and useful contributions to endocrinology.

Luca Parmitano, the first Italian to carry out an extravagant activity (EVA), would be a great choice for my students. He has already been interviewed, when he was in  the space, by the students of a Catanian school, the same he frequented. The students were excited and they asked him a lot of questions

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Samantha Cristoforetti should be a well-fitting example:she is  the first Italian woman in the European Space Agency's crews. She could be an incentive for all that girls that would like to have a STEM career, and I'd like to integrate her in a lesson with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are very impressed by Samantha Cristoforetti.  She is the most famous Italian astronaut and she's a pilot and engineer. She holds the record for  longest space flight by a woman and  she is also the first Italian woman in space. She's perfect to fit in a lesson about STEM career: she's a determined woman and she studied very hard all across Europe until she was officially selected as an astronaut in 2009 by the European Space Agency. She's a very good scientist but she's also a very nice woman: she posted many photos of planet Earth on Twitter and many funny photos!  She's a perfect inspiration for young girls!

Italy has a remarkable patrimony of scientists and during lessons, depending on the subject, I always refer to life, work and scientific discoveries. I think it is also important to work on emerging, young and brilliant brain scientists like Marco Pavone, computer engineer, assistant professor at Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, where he is director of the Autonomous Systems Laboratory.

Anna Grassellino, an electronic engineer, a leader in the field of applied physics and superconductor technologies.

Children need to visualize to understand, so support lessons with images, conceptual maps, and animations to engage them. The urge to commit itself to building up our future is constant. It is important to convey the message that the scientist can be a normal person with a family life, friends, and interests that go beyond his discipline.

Last month my department invited an architect to speak to the students as a way to be in contact with the real working world.

Samantha Cristoforetti, Margherita Hack, Rita Levi Montalcini are famous and could be a model for students. But I read to my children some pages of the book <goodnight stories for rebel girl> and also I used to tell them when I meet special person. For example last year I was at a book fair and I attended at an arguing between a young mathematician and an old math university professor. It was very interesting and for days I report the different experience of these mathematicians. I think models are important but they must be quite close to children experience, not too far

In Spain, one of the most known scientific figures is the aeronautical engineer, Pedro Duque. In biochemistry a great reference is Margarita Salas.
Another one, the young physicist Alicia Calderón, who works at the Cern.

I think Aziz Sancar is the STEM role model of our country. He is Turkish biochemist who discovered a cellular process known as nucleotide excision repair, whereby cells correct errors in DNA that arise as a result of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light or certain mutation-inducing chemicals. For his discoveries pertaining to mechanisms of DNA repair, Sancar received the 2015 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Students can make a skype call and talk with him in lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Samantha Cristoforetti is the easy answer!

He succeeded in the enterprise despite being a woman in a world of men.

# data[].attributes.body
I am thinking in Margarita Salas, a Biochemistry Scientist that nowadays is 78 years old.
She studied Chemistry and Biology after the Spanish Civil war and that was not an easy thing to do, specially if you were a woman.

First of all I would like to use my former students who are now pursuing STEM careers – because my current students could feel connection because of the same school background. And then when they are more invested/interested in a specific area of STEM – field trips to labs or universities so they can talk to real man and women in these careers. And after all skype talks with some “big names “ in world science that come from Croatia like professor Ivan Đikić.

I think the most visible space figure in the UK right now is Tim Peake. Generally when you think of things in space you think of Americans but he could show students that they can aim for that too.

He participed in the Soiuz 40 mission of the space program ,,Intercosmos" and spent 7 days, 20 hours and 42 minutes in space. He is an aeronautical engineer.
He is a famous spaceman and he could reper him experience comunicating him passion for space science but also describing all chalenger that he had to overcome.

I’ve chosen Gema Climent a Valencian woman who founded Nesplora, a company that applies virtual reality to the treatment of neurological disorders.

to my humble opinion the main aim is to guide our students optimally, I mean, instead of doing perfect people we should do real people. You can find out information about STEM career in many webs. I integrate Gema Climent or another scientist in class putting on examples about her career and remembering that it’s a piece of cake making a good education if you have good resources. Finally it’s quite important to highlight that scientists are real people and is widely available for every one.

Related to the Space topic, wich young students admire, Pedro Duque is one of our top astronaut. He could be a great example.

# data[].attributes.body
The italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti could be a good role model: in 2014 and 2015 she spent 199 days aboard the International Space Station, where she performed a variety of scientific experiments and studied generations of fruit flies to chart gene changes in relation to disease.
There are many videos about her great experience in space that could be used in the classroom to introduce information about STEM careers.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though you can try and reach an acknowledged person who works in STEM, I think the most fruitful role model you can use with students is someone they can feel identified with.
Once you've been some time in a school you know of former students who have pursued STEM careers. Their experience should be really important to kids.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Samantha Cristoforetti can be a model to help students passionate about STEM.
I can use several interviews or videos in which she recounts her path and her success, which can be a useful stimulus for students.

Someone outstanding in Spain, but little known is Guillem Anglada Escudé, is professor of Astrophysics at Queen Mary University in London. Anglada studied at the University of Barcelona where he doctored in 2007, later investigated in the United States and Germany, before occupying the Plaza at Queen Mary University. His field of study is the precise techniques of detection of extrasolar planets, and has participated in various research projects. Lead the group that discovered the planet Próxima B, the potentially inhabitable extrasolar planet closest to Earth.
As he studies the paths of the planets, he is a clear example in mathematics when applying trigonometry and conics, to calculate the paths of the planets, and put this scientist model STEM.

António Neto da Silva because he is  a major shareholder and Chairman of the Board of Deimos Engenharia, S.A., an engineering company operating in the space industry, whose main customer is the European Space Agency (ESA).

In the Portuguese curriculum, we integrate space in the disciplines of science, geology, physics and chemistry, in differents years (7ºe 10º years).

My idea is make “Answers to questions”. First I tried to get in touch with the president of Proespaço to know what his availability would be for a short video conference with our school. Then asked the students to write in small groups the questions they would like to put to the Dr. António Neto da Silva. Each class at the end would just have to select the top 5 questions and their spokespeople.

Since my school is in a small town, an alternative to a meeting with a scientist is to participate in the following initiative:
https://somoscientificos.es/
It consists of interacting with scientists in a contest over the internet.

Another possibility is to access podcasts in which scientists are interviewed, or television programs or lectures recorded with interviews with people who are making important advances in science
https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-hablando-cientificos_sq_f11448_1.html

A very relevant example for me is that of Nieves Cubo, an engineer in Industrial and Automatic Electronics and a Masters in Materials Science and Engineering by UC3M, who has built the 3D printer called Wendy with which he has managed to print human skin using cells from the own patient

Here in Spain, we have one great role model that is Pedro Duque. He was the first Spanish who went to the space. I think he could be a suitable person to tell our students how to get to work in the Eurpean Space Agency.
However, and despite this first example, I think that any person of a scientific  career could come to school and present his or her job career to students and families; the speaker should deal with:
1. Daily life as a scientist. What does s/he do everyday? income?
2. The academic path he or she has followed.
3. How he or she has ended in his or her actual job.
After the presentation, the school should:
4. Make our students read about scientific degrees, careers and make them think about questions that they can ask to the person who is giving the conference.
5. Make our students reflect by having group conversations and individual chats about their real possiblities to develop a STEM career.
6. Have a dossier with the academic progession of the student, talk individually with the student to make him aware of what he is good at.
7. Design with the student possible job careers. Make the student reflect upon him and his future. Make him design his futrure, ALWAYS WITH A TINGE OF REALITY.
8. Have little interviews with him at least three times per year so to speak about all these aspects.
9. Have interviews with the student's family to make the family aware of this orientation-IT IS FORBIDDEN TO TALK ABOUT MARKS-.

I chose Franco Malerba because I actually had the chance to meet him when I was in Secondary School.
Franco Malerba (born October 10, 1946, in Busalla, Metropolitan City of Genoa, Italy) is an astronaut. He was the first citizen of Italy to travel to space. Recreational interests include mountaineering, skiing, and tennis. He is fluent in Italian, English, and French. His education is quite apt to show the evolution of STEM careers: 1965 - Maturità classica (Lyceum); 1970 - University degree, Electronics Engineer, University of Genoa, Italy, specializing in the telecommunications field (laurea 110/110 cum Laude); 1974 - University Degree in Physics, University of Genoa, (110/110) specializing in Biophysics (after research work at the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA).
I would start with the change of direction with his studies and then add his personal interests, finally getting to his travel in the space to let the students build up his profile, his story, in order to consider a role model of their choice.

In Spain there are several STEM role models: Pedro Duque, Margarita Salas, Luis Puelles...The latter is well known among students since he is from our town. I would integrate him with the subject of health.

In my opinion, Pedro Duque is the best option. He is an Aeronautical Engineer and he became an astronaut in 1998.
In my case, I teach in Primary so I would relate any topic of the Universe with the Space Awareness. My students in groups would find different information about Pedro Duque to prepare a presentation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Pedro Duque could be taken as a good role model in Spain, especially because how extraordinarily difficult it is to suceed in the área of Space and becoming a part of the NASA team. I think he may be a good example for students, as he has an ordinary personal and family background, his parents being immigrants from a poor región in Spain, he himself being married and father of three children or being keen on popular sports such a cycling or swimming.  So far,  he could be anyone! But Pedro Duque is more tan anyone, as he is also a wonderful example of dedication and strength, and of how far you can get if you work hard enough.

Of course, in Spain we have many good role models in Stem Careers, but now, it comes to my mind two of them: The astronaut Pedro Duque, and Alberto Méndez, Rodrigo del Prado, David Béjar, Ravín Dhalani, Adán Muñoz e Iván Sánchez, Communication Engeniering students who have created and developed the technological company BQ.
I would introduce them to my students and then, ask them to find information about them and their achievements. Later, on they have found the information, we would discuss in groupal debate their contribution to our country and our society, and their importance as role models.

In Italy there are many national STEM role models we can introduce to students. I appreciate Margherita Hack, an astrophiysicist and science writer who died in 2013. She was very clear and practical while explaining. Nowadays the most popular is S. Cristoforetti. But we are plenty of examples. The best thing would probably be to invite local STEM models to get students to feel their being near to our life.
I would introduce M. Hack and ask my students to work on a webquest to find infos about her, in particular on how she contributed to arise italian scientific levels in the world about research and growth of activity of the astronomical community.

I think that, a part the big names of italian STEM, it's useful for students speak with some common scientists of our reality (for example a biologist, an en engineer of a University close to our school) that used his STEM career to create a job opportunity as a spin-off or a start-up

Throughout the scholastic year, we do bring various professionals to talk to our pupils and expose them to STEM careers thus I managed to meet a number of role models.  By far, my first choice and preferred STEM role model locally would be Professor Josette Camilleri.  She is a dental surgeon with a difference. I find that her career journey is very inspiring to our pupils.  She started off as a Dental surgeon and specialized on root filling treatments which saw her move away from the medical sciences towards the material sciences.  She became a lecturer in Materials Science, Department of Civil and Structural Engineering and Deputy Director of Civil Engineering laboratories within the Faculty for the Built Environment at the University of Malta.  Apart from being a women and thus breaking a couple of stereotypes, she managed to evolve and move from one STEM career to another so showing the importance of adaptability in today's work for.

I think the best STEM role model right now could be Samantha Cristoforetti. That's why she became very famous for her longest voyage into the space that was presented in all the TV news. She answered our poor terrestrian questions, she goes to schools to report about her experience and announced to be pregnant. I think this is the best way to introduce a scientist to girls like a real person, describing her pathway and the challenges she had to overcome.

I think fortunately in Portugal there are excellent examples in the areas of health, science and engineering that would be excellent examples of a career.

I think this type of activity is more suitable for high school. In the field of microbiology, virology and biotechnology, I would like to show students how STEM careers in these areas are closely related to the affairs of everyday life and also to the heavily advanced biotechnology sectors used for example in the treatment of serious illnesses.

I can think of several role models in many areas, but I think Mariano Gago is one I use a lot to show though that people that are important in STEM areas many times have there contribution to change society and politics. Mariano Gago was a Particle Physics researcher at CERN and also Cathedratic Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon. Besides his notorious work as researcher he was also responsble for JNICT and later on Minister of Science and Technology during several years and was the responsible of the inclusion of Portugal in all major European STEM consortiums namely CERN, in 1986, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), in 1997, to European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), in 1998, to the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in Junho of 2000 and to the European Space Agency (ESA),  in november of 2000. He was also responsible for the creation Ciência Viva (Science Alive) that was the biggest program for school's students experimental work in all STEM areas ever created in Portugal.

I think the Spanish biochemical Margarita Salas would be a really good STEM role model.

I really like the guys at Big Van, it is fairly easy to find a talk that relates to most of STEM subjects and their perspective is to make it fun and memorable. Besides they have all Ph.D and still work in their fields, from CERN to a mathlab they explain their problems in everyday life...

The person I would like to use is Dame Kay Davies who is a British geneticist and Professor of anatomy at Oxford University. Kay started her education at a high school for girls in Stourbridge which is in the heart of the 'black country'. This is an area of England which was one of the most heavily industrialised and polluted areas and since a decline in manufacturing has become an area of high unemployment and deprivation. Dame Davies won a place at Oxford for her first degree and then gained a Phd. She if an Oxford fellow, director of the Medical Research Council and governor of the Wellcome Trust. Her particular area of research is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for which she has gained many awards. It would be possible to introduce Dame Davies into genetics lessons or into lessons about the structure and function of muscle tissue

I think that Prof. Antonio Mastino is an Italian STEM role who could discuss with my students about STEM careers. He is an ordinary microbiology professor at the university, director of several research centers and head of several research teams.

Right now I am thinking about two national role models who are suited to discuss STEM careers with my students. One is a marine biologists who is doing impeccable research work in the Mediterranean Sea and another one is an Engineer who is brilliant in giving advises to the Maltese Government with regards to conservation of water especially conservation of the Water Table of the Maltese Islands.
Iam proud to say that bothe speakers come to our school on regular basis as the marine biologists forms part of the Aurora Nature Trust and is invited yearly to give talks to our students regarding his innovative research - Dr Timmy Gambin. While Eng Marco Cremona is working with our Eco-School Team in a challenging project as we obtained funds to dig a borehole in the school grounds and reach the water table where we are going to replenish it from water collected on the school roof

Maria Italy                       I would like to introduce students who in real life are engaged in biomedical or aerospace research and still in the field of biotechnology so as to make them appear closer to reality and make students understand that these professions are fascinating and possible to pursue
