Summer vacation, sunshine and nothing to do?
For 64 participants and one tutor, the vacations began with an exciting program at Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
Under the motto “On your marks – technology – go!”, there were three days of insights into technology and science from July 29-31, many opportunities to get to know their own strengths better and to talk to people who really enjoy their jobs. In practical workshops, the participants were able to gain their first programming experience or carry out analyses in the laboratory, build an electric drum or learn about the potential of renewable energies, deal with codes and encryption or extract their own DNA, build a hut in the forest and much more.
A total of 20 workshops were on the program and showed how diverse technology and science are.
The vacation event is part of the “MUT – Girls and Technology” program, which aims to support girls and young women in their career orientation and promote young female STEM talent.
The program deliberately starts at an early age in order to increase openness to supposedly gender-atypical topics and thus create a better starting point for later career choices.
