Girls in STEM RM298 / D16
Summary
Leading on from the Women in STEM event, this collaborative discussion and networking event is aimed at primary or secondary teachers interested in:
- Sharing best practice and discussing ideas to encourage girls into STEM.
- Invigorating their existing club to encourage more girls to join.
- Setting up a new STEM Club.
This session will consider:
- How can we utilise STEM clubs to attract more women into STEM careers?
- What obstacles, or perceptions could girls be facing, that may put them off STEM?
- Do we need to market STEM Clubs differently to attract more girls, or highlight topics they enjoy engaging with?
- To be most effective in getting more women into STEM, should we be focusing on activities for a certain age range?
- How can we effectively engage with STEM Ambassadors to provide more career role models?
- Should we be looking to create a programme of shared activities, or creating a STEM Club Challenge?
Contributors include:
Helen Colvert, award winning STEM Club teacher from Downlands Community School.
Marisa Amato, PhD in clinical neuroscience and molecular genetics and STEM Ambassador.
Hosted by: Estelle Whewell, Sussex STEM.
Helen will be sharing top tips for success throughout the event and Estelle will be collating a list of action points to help develop appropriate activities to support Girls into STEM Clubs.
