To mark International Women's Day on 8 March, the touring exhibition "Women in STEM" will be on display at Paderborn University Library from 3 to 19 March. Interested parties can visit the exhibition Monday to Friday from 7.30 am to midnight and at weekends from 9 am to 8.30 pm. Admission is free.
"Women in STEM" shows the experiences, successes and challenges of women in the academic and professional STEM fields (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology) and presents their life journeys. In authentic and personal interviews, the women provide insights into their careers in professions previously associated with men. They talk about their childhood dreams and their enthusiasm for their work. In this way, they want to encourage other girls and young women to follow their own STEM path in the skilled trades, science and business.
The travelling exhibition is a joint initiative of the EXPERIMINTA ScienceCenter and the VDI District Association Frankfurt-Darmstadt with the support of the Akademie des Handwerks Schloss Raesfeld and Fraunhofer India.
