Female pupils who are interested in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology (STEM) but are still unsure whether or which degree programme is right for them can find out at the NRW-Technikum. For six months, participants complete a paid internship and taster programme at Paderborn University. The kick-off event will take place on Monday, 1 September from 1 to 2.30 p.m. in room Q0.101. Anyone interested can register for the event via this link or by emailing info@nrw-technikum.de. Places are limited.

In addition to a welcome address by Prof. Dr. René Fahr, Vice-President for Transfer and Sustainability at Paderborn University, there will also be a talk by a former "Technikantin" who will report on her experiences. The new "Technikantinnen" will also be introduced, before there will be an opportunity for networking at a relaxed end to the event.

About the NRW-Technikum

The NRW-Technikum offers a gender-equitable way of imparting scientific and practice-orientated knowledge in preparation for a STEM degree course. On three or four days a week, the "Technikantinnen" receive an authentic and practical insight into the working life of a STEM profession during a paid internship. Two days a week, they take part in a STEM taster programme at Paderborn University. There is also an exciting supporting programme of soft skills seminars, lab visits, workshops, networking meetings with other "Technikantinnen" and female STEM students as well as excursions for the participants.
