Promoting young talent: schoolgirls immerse themselves in the world of science on Girls’ Day<\/h1>\n
\n

A wonderful tradition at the ZBT: every year, we invite schoolgirls to be researchers for a day on the nationwide Girls’ Day. How do you measure the pH value? How does a fuel cell work? And how do you do electrolysis? Girls’Day 2024 provided the answers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Five schoolgirls recently immersed themselves in the world of research and development at this year’s Girls’ Day<\/b> at ZBT. In our laboratories and workshops, they learned about the functional principle of a fuel cell<\/a>, measured pH and conductivity values, performed microscopy, produced various measurement solutions and practiced titration. And finally, they were also able to work in the mechanical workshop, where they learned how to solder, among other things. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

This day at the ZBT offered the schoolgirls their first insights into the everyday working life<\/b> of scientists, physics laboratory technicians, chemical technicians, chemical\/physical-technical assistants, tool mechanics, materials testers and electronics technicians.<\/p>\n

The annual Girls’ Day provides insights into apprenticeships, courses of study and professions<\/b> that few women have chosen to date. The day of action promotes the talents of schoolgirls and brings them into contact with exciting professions and role models. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

In addition to Girls’ Day, there is also Boys’ Day<\/b> at the same time. While girls gather impressions in IT, the trades, natural sciences or technology, boys meet male role models in care, educational professions, the service sector or social work. <\/p>\n

These action days are the world’s largest career guidance program<\/b> that promotes the idea of choosing a career and course of study free of role stereotypes<\/b>. Pupils from Year 5 onwards visit companies or universities, meet role models in professions that are still predominantly practiced by women or men and discover their individual strengths and talents. <\/p>\n

Next year, a few schoolgirls will be able to immerse themselves in our laboratory worlds again. Without breathing apparatus – curiosity is enough!<\/b> <\/p>\n
