There are fewer women than men in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). To address this imbalance, numerous STEM intervention programmes have been implemented worldwide. These programmes are aimed at helping girls and women to reach their full potential in terms of school and work.Planning and implementing a STEM intervention programme is a complex process. There are many different stakeholders, and their needs can be varied and evolving. This paper discusses STEM interventions, and it presents our experience with a specific intervention, the University of Limerick-Lero/Johnson &amp; Johnson WiSTEM 2 D (Women in STEM, Manufacturing and Design) programme. This programme has evolved based on the learnings identified in areas such as participant group dynamics, invited speaker engagement and presentation delivery, and teamwork-centered activities. Such learnings can be applied across a range of STEM fields, including software engineering. We believe that initiatives, such as WiSTEM 2 D, which support and promote gender equality in STEM 2 D fields, and specifically Computer Science (CS) education and industry, are of key importance. Our review of the programme has identified three primary lessons: (1) individuals did not benefit as strongly as those working in groups (2) online events allow for more speakers and greater transfer of knowledge and (3) working in teams provides the students with the opportunity to socialise with other women in a work environment.
