On October 7…
We are thrilled to be hosting an online episode of our very own Science, you had me at hello® about the theme of Dynamics.
How do we set things in movement, instill momentum, and put things in motion? That's exactly the question we will ask to our inspiring line up of STEM role models! And since it wouldn't be a g4g event without some hands-on fun, we'll also dive into an experiment around animation! Ready to learn about the science behind motion and illusion by making a homemade Zoetrope? You may even be challenged to put your perspective to the test when it comes to sustainability and future thinking.... so, without thinking twice, register for your place now!
In our Broadcast, we invite awe-inspiring role models to share that ONE moment where they knew that science and their being were inexplicably intertwined. These are stories told LIVE. Participants can interact with these amazing speakers, virtually travel into their daily life, and ask them questions. Our broadcast last approximately an hour and include a innovative and hands-on experiment that you can all replicate at home! All are welcome though this broadcast is aimed at girls aged 15+.
Our amazing speakers for this episode:
Meet Frances Feliz Kearns! Frances is a Biomedical engineer and is our expert at Quality in the corporate world!
Meet Katrien Goossens, Diversity expert, Inclusion champion and Change leader! She has worked for many years, bringing her passion for change to various fields and promoting cultural dexterity in the workplace. She is one of our Dynamic heroes!
Ruchi Sharma is our Biology expert, CEO extraordinaire, and Curious Inventor. She started her career as a veterinarian, after a PhD in the exciting field of stem cell research. She now leads a company that is developing safe new medicines and treatments while reducing animal testing.
Meet Jenn Urmston, an adventurer and curious marine biologist in Hawaii! She is our expert in seabird conservation and plans to work for the US Fish and Wildlife Service after graduating this year.
What: Our sixth broadcast episode will gather inspiring STEM role models, excited to share their stories, their inspiration, their wishes with the attendees.
When: October 7, 3 p.m. CEST. Our broadcast will last for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Where: This live broadcast will take place on the platform Zoom. Please be reassured that we are utilizing Zoom’s safety functions and that we will be monitoring online safety during the broadcast by having a Safety Officer as part of our dedicated behind-the-scenes team.
Why: From our own Impact studies, we know that one thing is key to inspiring girls to pursue STEM subjects – and that is, to provide a community of role models. Tailored to our older g4g students who are determining what studies to pursue in university, our broadcasts “Science, you had me at hello® ” connect female scientists and STEM leaders to the next generation of potential engineers, scientists and curiosity-filled young women. 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.
