2018
On March 16th, 2018, we teamed up with Nokia Global Careers to welcome 175 local girls aged 11 - 15 at the Nokia premises in Tampere, Finland. This was our second stop in Finland with Nokia, following an event at the Nokia Executive Experience Center in Espoo, and right before an event at the Nokia premises in Oulu. Along with incredible volunteers we were thrilled to see the girls experience how STEM links to everything around us with interactive workshops & role-model professionals!
