The Centre for Modern Education of the Silesian University of Technology implements the project "Girls, it's time for tech"

The Centre for Modern Education of the Silesian University of Technology, Perspektywy Education Foundation and Stellantis join forces to open the door to the world of technology to young women from Upper Silesia. The new program aims to inspire female secondary school pupils to explore science, technology, and engineering (STEM), develop their technical competencies, and build confidence in making future educational and professional decisions.

On March 25 this year, together with the Perspektywy Educational Foundation and Stellantis, we started a series of trainings for secondary school students as part of the project “Girls, it’s time for tech!”. Students from ZSTI Gliwice participated in a workshop entitled “the Power of Technology: From idea to Innovation” at the Faculty of Mining, Safety Engineering and Industrial Automation conducted by Dr Eng. Artur Dylong, Dr Eng. Leszek Kasprzyczak and  MSc Eng. Grzegorz Gluszka, as well as in the workshop “From lemon to bottle” at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Department of  Chemical Organic Technology and Petrochemistry, which was conducted by Dr Eng. Dawid Lisicki. We thank the hosts for excellent workshops introducing female students to the world of science, and the girls from ZSTI for participation!

The next workshop will take place in a week.

The program will be implemented in 2025. The recruitment of schools willing to participate in the programme is under way. program.
