FeSTEM community platform: creating meaningful, mentoring relationships with experts in STEM
Date Issued
September 2021
Abstract
This poster presents an overview of an e-mentoring platform that
aims to link Higher Education (HE) students in Science
Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with
experienced mentors in the field. Given the nature of this venture,
we democratized the design process, encouraging for multiple
voices from different stakeholders to be heard and inform the
design process. This poster demonstrates the process adopted for
building FeSTEM (Female Empowerment in Science Technology
Engineering and Mathematics) e-mentoring platform and
concludes with implications for research and practice in
maximizing users’ involvement in the design process.
