Intervention by the Association “Women and Science”

From February 15 to 17, we received a visit from Ms. María Navajas, from the Association "Women and Science". She spoke to our CM2, 5^e and 2nd.

This association defends the desire to promote and enhance scientific and technical careers among girls and young women, as well as to promote and enhance women in scientific and technical careers.

Here are the topics covered:

• The place of women in science and the need to make them more visible.
• The fact that girls choose scientific studies/careers less often than boys (figures to support this).
• Possible causes of this imbalance include: lack of role models of female scientists and gender stereotypes.
• The profession of scientist/researcher, particularly in biology.
• Women scientists in history and in current events who have made great discoveries (other than Marie Curie) and who have sometimes been forgotten.

Our students enjoyed it very much and showed themselves to be participative!
