Katerina Bagiati és enginyera i va fer el doctorat en Engineering Education a la Purdue University, sent actualment Research Scientist a l’Institut de Tecnologia de Massachusetts (MIT). Un dels seus camps d’expertesa és l’educació STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) a nivell K12 (dels 6 als 18 anys). La doctora Bagiati està a Barcelona participant en un projecte de recerca a la UPC i aprofitem la seva expertesa per fer una presentació a la comunitat educativa catalana en STEM.
