Little Scientists Webinar 
STEM Hour: Connect, learn, grow

Women in space – female STEM role models

Since the beginning of space travel, only 11.5% of astronauts have been female. Asked to draw a scientist, two thirds of primary school children will draw a man in a white lab coat. In Australia, only 35% of STEM university degrees are awarded to women. As part of World Space Week, we will ask female astronomers why they pursued a career in STEM, what we can do to prevent gender bias in young children and what needs to happen to create a world where girls and boys alike can reach for the stars.

Date: 8 October 2021

Time: 11am - 12pm AEST

Objectives:

  • Featuring female astronomers as STEM role models for young boys and girls 
  • Discussing how educators can become STEM role models
  • Discussing how to prevent gender bias
  • Providing ideas on how to speak to children about gender bias

The webinar is scheduled to run for one hour and includes a Q&A session.
