The Girls4STEM Campus (Girls for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEM), which took place at the School of Engineering-ETSE of the University of Valencia, offered the student participants the chance to share experiences through different workshops and activities that included tours to emblematic places in the city of Valencia. The students who participated in the event were selected on the basis of equal opportunity criteria from the 7 universities that are part of the FORTHEM Alliance. Under the slogan, what can you do to build a better world, will you be able to imagine a technological or engineering solution that brings together equality, diversity and sustainability? the event has been successfully implemented, allowing the students to enjoy the different actions planned.
The main objective of the campus, which lasted 5 days, was to develop a proposed solution to a problem in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on generating a social benefit in terms of equality, diversity and/or sustainability. Students were challenged to imagine technological or engineering possibilities that are aligned with UNESCO's sustainability competencies The event has been enthusiastically received by the students who have participated in this project of the FORTHEM Alliance, as well as by the organisers.
