Girls do Science! Events Return to Inverness
11 March 2024
Girls do Science! free event series returns on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 March 2024 to Skills Development Scotland’s Inverness Digital Studios, 1-5 Church Street, IV1 1DY.
The two-day STEM-focused events invite S1 to S6 girls to come along to explore careers and creativity in and around STEM industries.
On Friday 15 March from 6:30 to 7:30pm, there is an informal networking event for S4 to S6 girls, where they will get to meet inspirational women working in STEM industries, ask questions, and make useful contacts. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet motivational women whose careers are within this exciting and fast-growing industry.
On Saturday 16 March, from 10am to 2:15pm, S1 to S3 girls are invited to join us for a day of female speakers working in STEM industries and get hands-on in our interactive workshops including ‘Bridging Islands with Renewable Energy’, ‘Understanding Vaccines’, ‘Project Peat’, ‘Eco Mapping’, and ‘Moss Testing’.
Sharon McIntyre, Head of CIAG Operations at Skills Development Scotland says: “These events are the perfect opportunity to empower young women through learning for scientific and technological career paths. They’ll get information and guidance directly from inspiring role models and be offered a glimpse into the reality of being a female employed in the field of science and/or technology.”
Light refreshments will be provided at both these free events. Places are limited so be sure to use the links below to book soon to avoid disappointment!
