On 27 April…
We are thrilled to team up with AIG to go on an exciting ADVENTURE for our new episode of Science, you had me at hello® !
When we think of STEM adventures, we may think of rocketing into space, diving deep into the ocean to study wildlife, roaming the Antarctic, discovering new cells, and so much more. And that's just what we will do on this episode! Tune in to meet risk experts and STEM role models who make their job an adventure.
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 experiment that you can all replicate at home! All are welcome though this broadcast is aimed at girls aged 15+.
As always, we can't wait to bring you into our hands-on experiment which will be positively pop, sizzle, and crackle 😉 Register to hold your place now!

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.
