In Ait Baamrane, as in many places around the globe, girls are discouraged from pursuing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the premise being that girls are less rational and smart than their male counterparts. With our WS, we witness firsthand how girls are eager and excited to learn new topics, and especially STEM fields. For this 2017 edition, the participating girls are revelling their new discoveries. During this entire month, girls discovered how to identify the unique flora and fauna of their environment, how to operate microscopes, and understand the importance of environmental conservation. Their favorite activity is the nature walk during plant biology sessions, led by our Water School teacher Fatiha, where they had the chance to take a closer look at their environment through magnifying technology. They also learn and practice water conservation in farming and gardening, and discuss which local plants, fruits, and veggies are able to grow in their communities. We all celebrated World Water Day (March 22nd) by creating a banner of all the important uses of water!
