Abstract	Despite the technological development, the digital era, and the fact that Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) permeates all the modern world, the number of students choosing to pursue a career in STEM areas is very small in comparison to other careers. In particular, considering the gender, the gap increases even more. In this work, we present an industry-university program designed to stimulate STEM education and fostering the female interest and development in these areas. Considering our female undergrad students, the proposal was to engage them in the process, as the main agents. Our students prepared and gave lectures in schools about STEM areas. Together with some faculty members, they also developed and applied workshops based on hands-on and minds-on learning activities to spark young girls' curiosity in STEM areas. In all activities, it was performed an evaluation of learning outcomes, as STEM skills and interest. The program showed to be effective producing very positive remarks.
