Abstract:
There are different data and information that demonstrate the constant loss of interest of students from different educational levels in the field of STEM, especially when deciding the university studies to follow, and hence the shortage of Professionals in that job segment.

When the students start secondary studies, many of them find it difficult to front facing issues of graphic representation and perhaps to a lesser extent the implications that Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) may have in this teaching-learning process.

Based on these evidences, the main objective of this work is to formulate and implement a methodological proposal to increase the interest in STEM in secondary students.

The purpose of this work is to design a learning space that integrates a series of open educational resources. Suitably ordered will help the students of 1st and 2nd years of secondary education (Secondary Education in the Spanish educational system) to improve their spatial vision through ICTs, while discovering applications and computer resources that will increase their interest in science and technology.
