Girlsday

4/11/2019

Europe, Netherlands, The Netherlands

During Girlsday, technical companies, (non-)governmental organizations, and research institutes open their doors for 10-15 year old girls, in order to awaken/increase their interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The activities that take place during Girlsday are diverse, but can consist of (a combination of) a tour, hands-on activities/workshops, a quiz, and of course an encounter with female technical professionals. The central goal is to provide girls with a better/more comprehensive image of what it’s like to work in STEM, to show that women can also be successful in STEM professions, and that it can be a lot of fun!

In 2019 more than 10.000 girls will participate in Girlsday.

Girlsday is organised by: VHTO, the Dutch national expert organization on girls/women and science/technology.
