The Women, Science and Technology Event aims to promote girls' interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), especially in engineering and science careers. Aimed at girls from 8 to 13 years old from public and private schools, the event includes activities such as workshops, panel discussions, networking and hands-on lab experiences.
This event, held annually to commemorate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, offers a day of talks with female professors, students and graduates from the faculties of science and engineering. There is also an interactive tour of the university's laboratories and a free workshop for teachers on best practices in STEM teaching.
The conferences are transmitted live via Zoom for those schools that wish to participate virtually.
The event is promoted through direct contact with schools, social networks and newsletters.
