On July 15th…
We’re thrilled to host our 3rd broadcast, inviting inspiring speakers to share with us that ONE moment where they knew that science and their being were inexplicably intertwined.
For our 3rd Science, you had me at hello®, we are inviting 80 girls aged 14 and up from the UK and more to hear the awe-inspiring stories from role models at AIG and across various STEM fields! After the broadcast, we will be sharing learning resources with participants and schools for all children aged 11 onward.
These are stories told LIVE, and participants can interact with these amazing speakers. Our broadcast last approximately an hour and include a innovative and hands-on experiment that you can all replicate at home!
During our first broadcast, we were thrilled to hear how astrophysicist Nancy Vermeulen built her own telescope, how urban planner and e-educator Rudayna Abdo is bringing digital literacy to refugees and displaced children, and inspired by the words of Paige Kassalen, the only female engineer who worked on the first solar-powered plane able to circle the Earth… Are you excited for this third broadcast?!
