The level of female participation in the field of science, technology and innovation (STEAM) is still an issue to be solved. Indeed, these professions are associated with the masculine gender and it is thought that other careers are meant for women. In consequence, this research is focused on the school environment and seeks to verify how gender stereotypes tend to strengthen the gender gap in science. The study investigates perceptions and stereotypes of the students about the STEAM, dilemmas, elements and actors that influence the choice to study certain professions, and resources they use to get informed about technical or university careers. In this sense, the chosen methodology is mixed: quantitative and qualitative. As a result, it is concluded that teenangers do not keep gender stereotypes in mind; however, they are unaware of the field of CTI and mistrust their abilities to choose to study a career in this area, which contributes to maintaining the gap. Based on this, this Communication for Development project is entitled “+Científicas' ' and is designed to let female adolescents in 5th grade of high school get interested in the field of science and trust in their abilities to choose STEAM careers as a profession. This project is a communication strategy and it’s activities are based on the approaches of edutainment, dialogical communication and communication for behavior change.
