HBA SUISSE ROMANDE PRESENTS

Potenti’Elle en Science - An HBA Celebration of Women and Girls in STEM

HBA members and non-members will be able to sign up to this networking event and “bring along” an under-18 to meet inspiring women working in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and also be an inspiration. The girls will gain insight into what it’s really like having a career in science. The boys will be able to project themselves as allies and champions. They will be able to unravel their curiosity by questioning a diverse set of speakers, and even establish connections with the potential for a future shadow experience or informational interview. By presenting a number of role models, the boys and girls will see themselves represented in the science industry. What’s more, the event will be held in both French (local language) and English to promote social mobility and improve outreach.

Learning Objectives

  1. Project themselves in a STEM career of the future and establish connections (for girls)
  2. Project themselves as allies and champions of future women STEM leaders (for boys)
  3. Share success and act as role models for future STEM leaders (for adults)
