ℹ️ About #HackSTEM21:

HackSTEM is an event promoted by Siemens Gamesa in collaboration with Spanish Startups to inspire students to get on board for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education for a better future.

HackSTEM is an initiative prompted by our concern about the lack of vocations in STEM careers among young people and the need to promote quality education in these fields, starting with innovative solutions.

Because without the necessary talent we will not be able to meet the major challenges facing society today.

#HackSTEM21 will take place from September 21 to 26, 2021 in Spain, Germany, Mexico, Egypt and Denmark
