Greenlight for girls. Bruxelles, November 20th, 2010, 300 girls working on scitech
Reading time: 1 minute300 girls will be invited to the premises of the International School of Brussels, on 20th of November. This event, aimed at girls ages 11 to 15, will be full of interactive, hands-on workshops to show the fun behind science. The workshops, held in French, Dutch and English, will be given by role models and professionals with various science, math, engineering and technology backgrounds.
This day-long event is part of a California-based initiative called Expanding your Horizons operating for about 30 years and we are their official partner on this side of the ocean.
Imagine learning how to launch a rocket by a real astronaut, working together with an architect to design your dream home, programming a robot to walk down the school halls, using physics to play pool and ride a rollercoaster, understanding how the body works, playing with the chemistry in make-up, manufacturing new fashion designs – and much more. Greenlight for Girls will be bringing together young girls and introducing them to role models and mentors – to learn from, to ask questions, to see science come to life in front of their very eyes.
Greenlight for girls is an International NGO and a social initiative with the mission to encourage young girls of all ages to consider a future in math, science, engineering and technology by introducing them to the world of science in fun and exciting ways.
Join us on 20 November in Brussels!
