Girls’ Day 2024: young girls visit ME and CEGThis year’s Girl’s Day took place on 11 April. It’s a special day that allows girls to experience how valuable and fun an engineering education can be. Almost 80 girls from Years 7, 8 and 9 from schools in Leiden and Schiedam came to TU Delft and were introduced to engineering at the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Civil Engineering and Geosciences (CEG). More and more women are opting for engineering, but there is still a lot of ground to be gained. That’s why it’s important to inspire and inform girls at an early age. On Girls’ Day, this was done with a varied programme. For example, the girls attended various workshops on mechanical engineering, marine technology, civil engineering and applied earth sciences. Among other things, they were able to see for themselves how a prosthetic hand works, try to build a stable structure floating on water, experiment with rivers in a sandbox and work on a chemical puzzle made of water and stones. ‘I never knew this was all related to engineering,’ said one of the students. Indeed, more than 70% of the girls have a different, more positive perception of engineering now, according to the evaluation shows.Read more: https://edu.nl/w34m4

The smart one!? John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth on February 20, 1962, 62 years ago. It was the '60s, and the space race was on. It was world-changing.In the must-see movie (for every female engineer) Hidden Figures, we understand which major and impactful roles were played in the background by many invisible 'smart ones'. As John Glenn puts it in the movie: '(only) if she says the numbers are good, I am ready to go'.Enjoy a small scene from 'Hidden Figures' and let's put the spotlight on the smart ones! The world is even more changing today and many smart ones need to be seen more.#femalempowerment #thesmartone #delftfemaleimpact #hiddenfigures

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟De Delft Female Impact Community zit nu ook op Linkedin!Vrouwelijke ingenieurs hebben in hun opleiding en werk niet zelden te maken met unieke uitdagingen vanwege het vrouw zijn. Wij willen die uitdagingen in het licht zetten en aanpakken.Onze community, opgericht door gepassioneerde vrouwelijke alumni van de TU Delft, heeft als missie om vrouwelijke Delftse studenten en alumni van diverse generaties te verbinden. Ons doel? Het bieden van inspiratie, empowerment en ondersteuning op het gebied van leiderschap en ondernemerschap, waardoor we samen nog meer impact kunnen maken in onze samenleving.Maar daar houdt het natuurlijk niet op! We streven er ook naar om bewustzijn te creëren rond (on)bewuste barrières voor vrouwelijke studenten en jonge alumni binnen het TU Delft ecosysteem. Zo wordt het voor iedereen makkelijker om een omgeving te bouwen die inclusief is en waarin iedereen kan gedijen, met al zijn of haar talenten.De Delft Female Impact Community én het Delft Female Impact Fund willen een vliegwiel in gang zetten dat blijvende positieve verandering mogelijk maakt voor vrouwelijke studenten en alumni uit Delft. Daarmee helpen we elkaar en maken we een grotere maatschappelijke impact. Doe je ook mee?#DelftFemaleImpact #WomenInSTEM #Empowerment #Leadership #Diversity #Entrepeneurship #CommunityBuilding
