ATTRACTING GIRLS TO STEM FIELDS

UM has actively been encouraging girls to consider studies and careers in engineering, natural sciences and information sciences. On 29 April events take place around the nation, in universities, research institutes and tech companies aiming to give girls a glimpse behind the scenes of STEM careers.

At UM girls were invited to special on-campus events, such as a lecture on robots (held in English), exploring the on-campus “mine”, an up-close look at various high-tech materials, 3D technologies, and precision welding.
