Empowering girls to unveil their digital, entrepreneurial and STEM potential

Outstanding female role models in STEM will empower 60 female students from the province of
Jaén (Spain) to show, enjoy and make the most of their STEM, digital and entrepreneurial potential.
These girls will live a real research experience guided by excellent mentors, leaders of cutting-edge
research projects related to socially relevant STEM topics at the University of Jaén. The girls will
make the research project their own and will learn about STEM in a totally applied and useful way
while discovering the personal and professional career paths of their mentors. The female role
model will be also represented by lecturers and speakers organizing workshops focusing on digital
skills to solve scientific problems. On the other hand, this Summer Camp has the purpose of sowing
entrepreneurial thinking in girls, thus they will be challenged to design an entrepreneurial proposal
that they will outline with the help of successful entrepreneur women.
The girls will show off their presentation and communication skills at the open-door Final GEM
Conference, where they will enjoy a thought-provoking talk by a renowned researcher in STEM.
They will present the experience lived during the week as well as a poster about their idea of
entrepreneurship making it clear that they can be the leaders of the future and, why not?, also of the
present.
