Technology support for inclusive STEM laboratories: state-of-the-art and open challenges

This research is motivated by the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), including for many careers, understanding increasingly important public debates and policy formulation on issues such as cybersecurity/ privacy management and genetically modified organisms and for personal life e.g. budgeting. STEM accessibility seems to have received less attention than that of other subjects. Particular areas of difficulty/ exclusion are laboratories, fieldwork and access to formulae. This presentation will focus on laboratories.
