Empowering Girls

The University of Malta is organising a Girls4STEM Week between the 12^th and 16^th September 2022, aimed at female students who have finished Year 7. The girls will participate in teams in activities linked to real life problems in which they apply their knowledge of different STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and learn new concepts in a hands-on, collaborative environment. The Girls4STEM Week will also include meeting and working with women involved in STEM-related careers. They will explore STEM through a variety of topics and applications. It is envisaged that through the various planned activities, students will become more aware of their own potential and increase their interest in studying, being involved and in pursuing careers in STEM, digital disciplines and entrepreneurship especially with regard to leadership positions.
