PROJECTS

Girls' Labs is a motivational STEM programme designed to challenge gender stereotypes in career choices and support girls' interest in science and technology fields.

The programme combines hands-on STEM workshops with teacher training focused on gender-sensitive teaching practices. An innovative element of the programme involved the use of thermal cameras in physics workshops, allowing students to explore scientific concepts through practical experimentation.

GIC NORA conducted the impact evaluation analysing how participation influenced students' perceptions of STEM subjects and gender stereotypes related to career choices. The organisation also developed a methodology for gender-sensitive communication and delivered training for teachers and mentors on gender-sensitive education.
