Women-STEM-Slam
TU Dresden invites pupils from grades 9 to12 to a special event, the Women-STEM-Slam. Like its model, the poetry slam, it is a competition in performing. In the women STEM slam, women from science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) give ten-minute presentations on informative and entertaining scientific work or professional projects. The audience is the jury – which at the end decides who the women STEM slam winner is. The focus is not on winning, but on the joy of presenting and on the pleasure of explaining a complex content, both vividly and entertainingly to the audience.
Afterwards, girls and young women from the audience have the opportunity to ask questions, to gather competent opinions or to be given inspirations for possible career paths.
The 4th Wome-STEM-Slam takes place on: 15th of June 2018 at 19:00 in the Faculty of Computer Science as part of the Dresden Science Night.
