The UC3M celebrates International Day of Women and Girls in Science

The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) joins the celebration events for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2022 held on 11th of February by organising different activities, such as a Gymkhana about data science, an interactive online theatre show about the documentary "El enigma Agustina", a session about cybersecurity with an educational card game and a programme of technological workshops. An online Gymkhana about data science , dedicated to Mary Eleanor Spear (a data visualisation instructor), aimed at high school students within the STEM for Girls UC3M Programme, will take place at 11am on the 11th of February. The aim of this activity is to develop students' critical thinking skills, to promote scientific methods and to demonstrate the importance of analysing and interpreting data in everyday life. The Ágora Telefónica-UC3M in Women and Technology: "A human vision to break up stereotypes" will also take place on the 11th of February at 1pm. This activity will take place in a hybrid format (both on-site and online) at the University's School of Engineering and will be open to the public. There will be three spaces for discussion and analysis at this event: one dedicated to women's access to careers related to IT; another that focuses on inspiring projects and ideas from female lecturers and students within this field; and a third that will showcase technology projects that focus on people and their needs. The STEM for Girls technological workshops will take place on the same day at 6pm.
