How can we fit a year of thank you’s in one newsletter? Well, we can’t. But, we can fit in a few special notes of appreciation. We are often asked – how do we continue to have events, grow as an organisation and reach more and more people each year? The answer is that we have some very, very special people in the greenlight for girls’ network. Here are just a few!
Our Greenlight Girls now give their own workshops!
Daisies, Princess Scientists, Lasers, DNA, Chemistry, Big Bang... yes it was our 4th g4g day in Brussels!!
Greenlight Girls go Stargazing with Astrophysicists in Brazil!
At g4g, we often speak about the word geek. Or the word nerd. Or other such words that are used, and often not in a nice way, to describe someone who is too intellectual or perhaps someone who is too knowledgeable or too enthusiastic in something scientific. As you may already know, we at greenlight for girls wish to change the negative connotation of the word geek. We even put together a video about this for kids.
Our first g4g@Athens Day!
A word from our Founder....
Many years ago, too many to admit, I met an entrepreneur who I decided to stalk. Now this probably wasn’t real stalking (social media hadn’t been invented yet), but I did find every article written about her and I figured out a way to meet her and interview her for one of my MBA assignments. I remember we had this amazing, insightful conversation. However brief in actual time spent, I learned volumes. She probably didn’t know that she became my silent mentor from that day forward – just from that one conversation. She fascinated me.
