GirlsinSciTech
The campaign Girls in Science and Technology “GirlsinSciTech” aims to promote studies in engineering, computer science, mathematics and physics among girls in Luxembourg and beyond.
Encouraging girls to study STEM fields
This campaign aims to encourage girls aged from 12 to 18 years old to pursue studies in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. With this campaign, our goal is to show the important role girls have to play in these fields.
- Diversity of perspectives: diverse teams lead to more innovative solutions. When girls participate in STEM fields, they bring unique perspectives and ideas that can enhance creativity and problem-solving.
- Breaking stereotypes: promoting girls in these subjects helps challenge and change societal stereotypes about gender roles in STEM. This can inspire future generations to pursue their interests without the constraints of traditional expectations.
- Career opportunities: STEM fields are among the fastest-growing job sectors. By encouraging girls to pursue these studies, we open doors to lucrative and fulfilling career paths, helping to close the gender pay gap.
- Empowerment: mastering STEM subjects can boost confidence and empower girls to take on leadership roles in their future careers. It fosters critical thinking and analytical skills that are valuable in any field.
- Global challenges: many of today’s pressing issues, like climate change and healthcare, require innovative solutions that stem from STEM disciplines. Girls’ involvement is essential for developing comprehensive strategies to tackle these challenges.
- Role models: when girls see women succeeding in STEM, it creates role models who can inspire others. This visibility is vital for motivating young girls to pursue similar paths.
