Abstract:

    NIH (National Inspiration Hub) is an inspiration network created formally as a deliverable from STREAM-IT (Streaming girls and women into STEM education, innovation and research) Project. The main aim of the National Inspiration Hubs is to create an online networking group for STEM teachers and capacity-building communities, as well as to host activities for sharing and exchanging expertise and experience, as well as transferring good and best practices, promoting the results of the project and organizing events. The Hubs (from 17 countries) will be able to interact within an online platform. The article represents NIH as an instrument for establishing and developing sustainable STEAM communities based on values and knowledge. NIH also brings together educators, researchers and community stakeholders willing to support gender equality in STEAM education and career.
