#girlsinstem — Public Fediverse posts

hi all 👋 this is a #Canberra-based post about a kids in #STEM programme, apologies for the wall of text if that’s not relevant to you 😬 but pls #boost4reach 🙏

does anyone know any Canberra (or surrounds) kids in grades 7-10 who are interested in STEM & would like to join a #LEGO #robotics team? I’m volunteering with a Canberra team participating in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge (FIRST = “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology”, it’s not the first one 🤪)

the various programmes are broken out into age ranges – info about this particular one (the “challenge” level) is on their website at https://www.firstaustralia.org/first-lego-league-challenge, although their website is super confusing & unhelpful unless you already know exactly what you’re looking for

this team meets on Sundays in Acton from 11:00-14:00 with the skills building running through until mid-November & then there’s a regional competition in Wollongong on 14th November

so if you know anyone who has kids in the right age range that might find this interesting, pls pass on the info & DM me if anyone wants to join or have a chat (pls no personal details, we’ll switch to Signal after an initial DM). I’d especially love to get some more girls & enby folks involved, but the team welcomes all genders

I’ve been asked to make it super-duper clear that this is not LEGO Masters – apparently they’ve had a couple of kids come along in previous years only to bail after a few weeks when they didn’t get to build LEGO Masters style stuff 🙃

anyone who’s interested in learning some coding (#Python using #PyBricks), engineering, & problem-solving while learning about #biodiversity (this year’s theme), teamwork, & planning might be a good fit

thx all, pls share with anyone who might have or know kids in or near Canberra who would be interested & pls #boost4reach 🙏

Many children think in quieter, slower, messier, more careful, more observant, more imaginative ways.

Our latest REDefine essay explores why this matters for girls’ STEM confidence, and why belonging has to be built long before subject choices begin.

Before a girl decides she is “not a science kid,” she may already have received years of quiet messages about what kind of intelligence counts.

Our new REDefine essay explores girls’ STEM confidence, early stereotypes, emotional safety, and why every child deserves to see her curiosity as a strength.

Our granddaughter turned 6, and we bought her four presents. Jewels for her hair, tinsel for her hair, a book about astronaut Mae Jemison, and a science kit to create circuits to turn on fans, enable a light sensor, and more.

I'm pleased to say she begrudgingly let me put tinsel in her hair, wouldn't even open the hair jewels, but made me read the Jemison book to her twice and cried when we made her stop doing science to go to bed.

Today we celebrate International Women and Girls in Science Day. Science moves forward when everyone has a seat at the table. #WomenInScience #GirlsInSTEM #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #publicengagement #OpenResearch

At ExploreTUM’s first GirlsLAB@TUM, girls in grades 9–11 from our Bavarian #partnerschools, discovered technology and science at our #university in a hands-on way and gained new ideas for their educational and #careerpaths: http://go.tum.de/484608

It is my honor to always support the Avon Roborioles Team by speaking at their first Women in STEM event and providing books for STEM outreach. I've known some members since they were on the Gamer Girlz Girl Scouts Team 3rd - 8th, now seniors. #Robotics #WomenInSTem #GirlsInSTeM #STEM #NoireSTEMinist 🦾🤖🦿

Very proud of my daughter @TeenHorror building her first bioreactor! She'll finish high school with some amazing experience.

I spend every day being angry at the defunding of science and attempts to roll back progress of women in science but #girlsinstem are here to stay.

Großartig ♀️ 👏 Die Schülerinnen haben nicht nur ein Mittel zur Erkennung von Ko-Tropfen erfunden... Wenn ein Getränk kontaminiert ist, flockt es aus und wird ungenießbar.

Heute ist #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience
Lasst uns gemeinsam für Gleichstellung und Chancengleichheit in #STEM/#MINT eintreten.
Die Zukunft braucht die Stimmen und Talente ALLER! #WomenInScience #GirlsInSTEM

Women and girls are driving lasting change in science, yet often face shorter, lower-paid careers.

#InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience is both a celebration & a call to action for gender equality in European R&I.
