The pioneering skills lab!

From antiquity to the present day, women have broken stereotypes and carved their own path in areas that were once considered exclusively male privileges. These pioneers have made significant contributions to science and technology, demonstrating their ability to innovate and lead.

Meet the amazing women who paved the way for generations to come. Ada Lovelace, who wrote the first algorithm for a computer. Grace Hopper, who developed the first compiler and contributed to the development of the COBOL programming language. Hedy Lamarr, who invented the dispersion spectrum and laid the groundwork for wireless communication. Katherine Johnson, the mathematical genius of NASA, who calculated the orbits for the first US space missions.

These women are not only a chapter of history but also an inspiration to all the girls and women of today. Come celebrate their legacy and inspire new generations to follow in their footsteps.

In our skills lab, consisting of 9 45′ activities, we will create our own wearables and explore the exciting possibilities of technology. We will deal with electronicsprogramming and wireless technologies, emphasizing creativity and innovation.

This program is dedicated to empowering girls from around the world by providing them with the tools and confidence to forge their own path in science and technology.
