The Girls in STEAM Academy<\/a><\/strong>, is a non-profit initiative that aims to bridge the gap in women’s representation in jobs in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) fields, announces its new programs for 2022 that aim to empower young girls to pursue careers in the STEAM fields. Girls in STEAM Academy is an initiative of the Be an Ally Foundation, led by Panagiota Polykarpou and Anastasia Liopetritis. Girls in STEAM Academy Girls in STEAM Academy is an initiative of Be an Ally Foundation<\/a><\/strong>, led by Panagiota Polykarpou and Anastasia Liopetritis.<\/p>\n

In 2021 Girls in STEAM Academy ran two two-day BridgeSTEAM programs in Limassol and Larnaka for girls aged 14-16 (find the highlighted video<\/strong> here<\/a>). After the huge success of these programs, 4 more BridgeSTEAM 2022<\/strong> programs will be organized this year:<\/p>\n

The two-day BridgeSTEAM program aims to empower female participants on three levels: a) by developing their programming skills, b) by informing them about the career opportunities that exist in STEAM disciplines, and c) by connecting them with female role models in the field of STEAM in Cyprus. The program will also offer a workshop on study selection and career prospects in STEAM by a recognized trainer, as well as an educational workshop on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Registration for this year’s 4th Girls in STEAM Academy program in Larnaca for girls aged 14-16 (December 3 & 4, 2022) is open at the link here<\/a> or through the program website here<\/a>. The last day to submit applications is November 20, 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why STEAM?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Despite girls outperforming boys in digital literacy, women represent only 17% of people studying and working in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) fields in the EU and only 36% of STEM graduates. This is mainly a result of gender stereotypes that prevent girls from reaching their full potential. The Girls in STEAM Academy<\/strong> program aims to break down the barriers that typically prevent young girls from developing an interest in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.<\/p>\n

The participants of the programs will have the opportunity to be in the Girls in STEAM Academy Alumni Network and to continue their active involvement with various opportunities both in Cyprus and abroad. In particular, graduates of the 2021 programs had the opportunity to participate in the TechGirls<\/a> <\/strong>program in the United States, to be presenters on the SheSpeaks podcast<\/a><\/strong>, to take part in educational visits, and to participate in job shadowing<\/a><\/strong> activities in various companies and Universities both in Cyprus and in abroad.<\/p>\n
