Festival of women and girls in science

A festival celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, showcasing science and technology research carried out by women.

Experience interactive activities, discover the excitement of taking part in scientific research, and understand the important contribution that women make to science.

With a particular focus on activities for girls aged 10 to 18 and their families, our objective is to facilitate the involvement of women and girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths). We aim to establish meaningful connections between science and our daily experiences, fostering curiosity, and sparking inspiration for future careers!

  • Visit interactive exhibits and get hands-on with science.
  • Explore immersive environments in our portable 360-degree theatre.
  • Hear about scientific research directly from scientists and talk to people with first-hand experience by borrowing a scientist from our human library.

See the Festival of Women and Girls in Science website for details.

This collaborative event is brought to you by the University of Canterbury, Canterbury Museum, and Tūranga.
