Between September and early November, 1568 girls have been engaged through day camps that consisted of fun activties and challenges that mirror real world careers in STEM. They used commonly used and recyclable objects to find creative solutions to everyday problems.
120 girls joined field trips to STEM organizations to get a real world feel of what Women in STEM face on a daily basis. By visiting exciting places such as Rockwell Automation, Intel and Hilton International, the girls learnt, amongst other things, how audio on phones is tested and how STEM is used in the hospitality industry.
Girls2Pioneers also offered young girls the opportunity to meet and talk with prominent Women in STEM. These conversations allowed them to learn more about the nitty gritties of their work, as well as the challenges. They also got to shadow and work alongside thes women! 40 girls joined a work attachement programme and spent two weeks developing their own miniature projects within STEM facilities.
In total, as of now, we have reached 3604 students this year!
