Girls aged 10-15 will discover the world of STEM and IT on this day - a unique opportunity to see how fun and versatile technical professions can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the company visit, the girls follow a two- to four-hour programme. This includes a short introduction to the company, a tour or demonstration, meeting (female) professionals and getting hands-on with a fun hands-on activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Girls' Day?<\/strong> <br>Despite the high demand for technical talent, only 14% of technical professionals are women. This is due to gender stereotyping, limited perception of technical courses and professions, low self-confidence in science subjects and lack of role models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, STEM and IT are more important than ever for society. This is precisely why we organise Girls' Day: a day to show that engineering is also (and just as well) for girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Fix the system, not the girls!<\/strong> <br>Girls' Day is part of a nationwide movement to increase the proportion of women in engineering and IT.
