International Day of Women and Girls in Science

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science recognizes the vital role women and girls play in scientific and technological progress. It highlights the importance of equal access to opportunities in STEM and encourages young girls to pursue scientific careers. This day is a global call to build a more inclusive, diverse, and impactful scientific community.

Why This Day Matters

This day matters because empowering women and girls in science leads to more diverse perspectives, stronger innovation, and better solutions to global challenges. When talent is equally supported, science becomes more inclusive, impactful, and representative of the world it aims to serve.

Global Collaboration

Students learn to collaborate across cultures while valuing diverse perspectives and gender equity.

Problem-Solving

Students analyze real-world challenges in STEM and develop thoughtful, solution-oriented thinking

Civic Engagement

Students use digital tools to share stories, raise awareness, and inspire change.

Innovation

Students create ideas and solutions to promote gender equality in science and technology.

What happens when you celebrate with us?

Instead of a one-day discussion, you can turn this celebration into a small project where students create, reflect, and collaborate with another classroom. Through Class2Class.org, you’ll find ready-to-use ideas that make it easy to connect with teachers worldwide and guide your students through a real global learning experience.
