SST Girls in STEM 2022

About the Project

Organizing and overseeing the School of Science and Technology's inaugural Girls in STEM event was a truly rewarding experience. The day camp, focused on robotics, provided a crash course that allowed the participants to delve into the exciting world of science and technology. Witnessing the girls' enthusiasm and genuine curiosity was inspiring, as they eagerly absorbed new concepts and applied them in practical scenarios. It was evident that they were engaged and motivated, highlighting the importance of creating opportunities for girls to excel in STEM fields. The culmination of the event in a friendly tournament further emphasized the positive and inclusive environment we had fostered, as the girls supported and cheered for each other, regardless of the outcome. Seeing their self-confidence grow throughout the event was incredibly gratifying, as they realized their potential and embraced their abilities in the STEM field.

The success of the Girls in STEM event reaffirmed the significance of promoting diversity and inclusion in science and technology. By exclusively inviting girls to participate, we created a safe space where they could explore their interests without any gender-related inhibitions. It was a joy to witness their transformation, as many initially doubted their abilities but soon realized their potential and embraced challenges with newfound confidence. The event served as a reminder of the importance of equal opportunities for girls in STEM, as we witnessed the positive impact it had on their self-perception and future aspirations. This experience has motivated me to continue organizing similar events and initiatives, as we work towards breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of female leaders in STEM.
