O taller incluíu unha serie de experimentos científicos con crianzas entre os 10 e 11 anos de idade, nos que ademais se salientaron algúns dos maiores aportes de tres científicas cuxa pegada ten sido definitivamente significativa para o avance da ciencia e o progreso da sociedade tal e como pode ser hoxe entendida.

Alén de servir para despertar a curiosidade pola ciencia para todos os rapaces e rapazas, a visibilización do papel das nosas científicas e as contribucións destacadas poderán ter utilidade para inspirar ás cativas de hoxe a descobrer e perseguir a súa vocación pola ciencia.

Este tipo de iniciativas son enormemente valiosas non só pola posta en valor do papel da muller na ciencia, senón tamén polo agradecido que resulta traballar para un público que destaca polo seu entusiasmo, curiosidade e participación activa, alén de axudar a xerar novas vías de interacción entre a comunidade científica e o resto da sociedade.

Besides serving to spark curiosity about science in all kids, enhancing the visibility of the role of female scientists and their outstanding contributions can help inspire today’s girls to discover and pursue their calling in science.

These kinds of initiatives are enormously valuable not only for highlighting the role of women in science, but also because it is so rewarding to work for an audience that stands out for its enthusiasm, curiosity and active participation, as well as for helping to generate new avenues of interaction between the scientific community and the rest of society.
