On Thursday 10 April, the IJmond was full of Girls' Day 2025<\/strong> - a nationwide movement to inspire girls to choose a future in STEM, engineering and IT. And what a beautiful day it was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with companies such as VanDerEng B.V.<\/a>, Facta<\/a><\/strong> and Vicoma<\/a><\/strong>, and of course the fantastic Nova Smart Girls<\/a><\/strong>, we welcomed around 50 girls aged 13-14 from the Bonhoeffer College, VSO het Molenduin<\/strong> and the Vellesan College<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The morning consisted of tours and interactive technology workshops at the participating Techport companies. After lunch, the programme continued at the Nova College Beverwijk,<\/strong> where students from seven technical courses took the girls into the world of sustainability, ICT, construction and laboratory engineering, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also Tata Steel Academy<\/a><\/strong> opened its doors and welcomed more than 100 girls from primary and secondary schools - all curious about technology, innovation and their own talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Why Girls' Day?<\/strong>
Because only 16% of engineering professionals are women. Because engineering is still often seen as a man's world. And especially: because girls underestimate their own technical skills at a young age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girls' Day makes a difference - by improving the system, not the girls themselves. After all, they are just right the way they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all the participating schools, companies and partners who made the day possible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
