March is an opportunity to highlight stories that inspire, transform, and pave the way.
This Women in STEM calendar was created so that, throughout the month, your students can learn about a woman who left her mark on science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
Through short, clear, and meaningful biographies, this resource seeks not only to inform, but also to raise questions, spark vocations, and reinforce the idea that talent has no gender.
Because when we showcase role models, we expand possibilities.
At the beginning of the PDF, you will find all the days of March. Click on the day and you will be taken to the biography of an outstanding woman in STEM.

How to use this resource:
1. Class start ritual (5 minutes daily)
Each day, the biography is read aloud. Then a brief question is asked:
- What obstacle did she face?
- What quality helped her overcome it?
- What can we learn from her?
2. STEM reflection journal
Your students have a sheet of paper or notebook where they write:
- The name of the woman of the day.
- Something they learned.
- A question that came to mind.
At the end of the month, they will have a mini “inspiration journal.”You can do this in a notebook, or you can also find a printable journal format.
3. Wall of role models
After each reading, add their name to a mural in the classroom. You can divide it into areas:
🔬 Science
💻 Technology
📐 Engineering
➗ Mathematics
At the end of the month, see how many role models they learned about.
4. Connection to the curriculum
- In science class: relate their contribution to the topic you are studying.
- In math: analyze data related to their work.
- In technology: research how their legacy impacts today.
5. End-of-month activity
At the end of March, each student chooses the woman who impacted them the most. They design a mini card, poster, or presentation about her and explain why.
6. Conversation about stereotypes
Use some biographies to spark dialogue:
- Why do you think we didn't know her name?
- Why is it important for us to see these role models?
