Abstract

The DivInTech (from Diversity, Inclusion, and Technology) project originates from the specific orientation of addressing a concrete issue linked to the thematic priority of “Culture, Creativity, and Inclusive Society,” as defined in the programming of the Spanish State Plan for Scientific, Technical, and Innovation Research 2021–2023. From a multidisciplinary perspective intersecting the thematic areas of Education Sciences (the main domain), Psychology, and ICTs (as defined by the State Research Agency), the aim is to enhance social inclusion, particularly in the educational and family domains, for students affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This is achieved through the design, implementation, evaluation, and scalability of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities in specifically designed spaces. The current proposal conceptualizes the project’s need, its participants, phases, and methodology to foster new collaborations that enable a broader impact with the scalability of its activities.
