As most of the in-person events have been suspended around the world, we have been proactively taking steps to support our community of students and educators worldwide in order to continue encouraging girls and boys to learn and explore STEM subjects. Teachers, schools, families and society overall are all trying to figure out, “How can we help our children to study remotely and stay motivated to learn?” The team at g4g dived into this same question and through our creative design process, we are bringing forward three solutions to help others for learning Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

g4g introduces a new ONLINE PORTAL open to everyone, Science Fun!
In the past few weeks, we’ve explored the Internet to bring you all the most fantastic resources available to explore STEM from the comfort of your home. And this is, the Science Fun online portal, where we gather online resources and STEM activities that anyone can do at home, in the joyful and hands-on spirit that g4g is known for. This online portal, is available to all on our website and it gathers resources for students of all ages, including videos, podcasts, websites, classes, games, virtual field trips, and more – all about STEM learning.
g4g combines awe-inspiring role models with storytelling for a new g4g BROADCAST series, Science, you had me at hello©
Arguably one of the biggest projects we’ve been working on these past few weeks, is the combination of awe-inspiring role models with storytelling for a new g4g BROADCAST series, Science, you had me at hello©. When we conducted our Impact studies, we realized that providing a community of role models is key to inspiring girls to pursue STEM subjects. And that’s what we want to continue to do today! Tailored to our older g4g students who are determining what studies to pursue in university, these virtual broadcasts connect female scientists and STEM leaders to the next generation of potential engineers, scientists and curiosity-filled young women.
In this new Broadcast series, the g4g team will ask invited awe-inspiring role models to share that ONE moment, that SPARK, that apple-falling-off-the-tree EPIPHANY where they knew that science and their being were inexplicably intertwined. These are stories that will be told LIVE. They are designed to encourage you to think about what inspires you, to begin to contemplate your purpose and to create some ideas on how you can get there.
Excited yet? Keep your eyes peeled, we are launching in May 2020 and are ready to explore some fantastic subjects such as Invention, Space, Connectivity, Creativity, Planet and much more!
g4g invites you to get creative in their new AFTERSCHOOL laboratory, Science Me Crazy ©
The g4g Headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium and our chalet-looking building is used for our creative thinking. We love to host weekly Creative Hour events where we devise new workshop ideas with the latest societal STEM subjects.These moments of brainstorming have led to new learning ideas for g4g events but also has created a library of possibilities to share with schools and educators.
In the coming months, g4g will be launching a new after-school laboratory called, Science Me Crazy, which will be available for subscriptions (or offered to schools in-need through grants) so that g4g’s experiential learning methods can be brought into the classrooms or homes for augmented learning after-school… Stay tuned!
