Empowering Girls to understand their role in STEM – Colors Uncovered

The purpose of the summer camp is to engage girls in Cyprus with STEM activities, with an emphasis on understanding the role of STEM, and especially the entrepreneurial potential of the field. More than 12 female scientists, science communicators and educators have worked together to develop interactive activities around the topic of “Colours”. The girls, in small groups will have the opportunity to learn about colours and their importance from the perspective of science, mathematics, technology, engineering and the arts and will collaborate on producing final products and present them. The teams will learn about design process and how to produce and present products, and for the final day of the summer school they will prepare their own product based on knowledge and skills gained during the summer school. The girls will also have the opportunity to work with female scientists, interview female scientists, participate in a field trip at an environmental centre and prepare their own digital advertisements to promote their products.
