On April 28, the Association for Women in Science is organizing a program called Girls' Day, which is open to young people interested in the world of science, technology and informatics for the 11th time.
The initiative aims to give primary and secondary school students looking for a career experience in the jobs of the future. According to the announcement of the organizers, on this day, many companies, as well as universities and research institutes, are welcoming young girls to gain insight into the practical applications of engineering and science.
This year, students can choose from 65 different program packages.
On Girls ’Day, attendees can see where the coolest Audi models are being made or where the construction of the 2023 World Athletics Championships venue is now underway. They can try out 3D printing, program and code, and gain useful knowledge about mobile networks. Visitors to the programs can also experience how loud a mine explosion is, what a nuclear forensic analyst is dealing with, or how a young Hungarian girl can be a space explorer.
Find out why cybersecurity is important, what secrets a server room hides, or what makes a biotechnology lab exciting. They can build a digitally controlled greenhouse, snap into a truck simulator, get into the invisible parts of Metro 4, sneak into the skin of a hacker, and program a robot. It turns out that the internet will be on their mobile phones, but they will also get an answer as to what makes a resume good or what challenges they face as a woman in careers traditionally called masculine.
For those who can’t personally visit any of the venues, the Women in Science Association (NaTE), which launches and organizes Girls ’Day, is preparing for an interactive online #my-future workshop.
The full program of Girls' Day 2022 is available at https://lanyoknapja.hu/programlista/, and participants can also find information on the event's Facebook page and Instagram channel. Events are subject to registration.
The Girls ’Day program series and the April 28, 2022 digital special edition are organized by the Nature Award-winning Women in Science Association. The goal of the association is for more and more young girls to choose a career in science and then receive the appropriate support and recognition for their work.
