Workshop at Google: Nationaler Zukunftstag für Mädchen

40 girls, aged 10 to 12, we will be introduced to 4 different STEM fields and show the opportunities for careers within these fields. For each of the disciplines, a professional engineer or scientist will explain what they do and why STEM is an essential part of it.  Students will then take part in STEM activities related to each of the fields.

Our chosen disciplines:

Chemistry – A female scientist from ETH. What kids will do: simple science experiments

Aerodynamic/Mechanical Engineering – A female aerodynamicist from Alfa Romeo F1 Team. What kids will do: design, build and race miniature F1 paper cars.

Robotic Engineering – A female robotics engineer from Zurich. What kids will do: build and program LEGO Robots

Computer Science/Programming – A female computer scientist from Google. What kids will do: coding simple video games (using Scratch) or an app with BitsBox.
