International day of women and girls in science - 11th February
This collection of resources have been collated to support the United Nations International day of women and girls in science which recognises the critical role women play in science and technology, and promotes full and equal access and participation in STEM subjects for women and girls.
The first items in the collection give case studies of women who have been successful in the world of science, technology and engineering. The 'Inspiring Scientists' from the Royal Society and the 'Born to engineer' and 'Women in space' collections include some excellent female role models to highlight the many career opportunities available. The second part of the collection includes ideas on how to challenge gender stereotyping in the classroom.
