This year, she is the scientist in our ‘you can also be...’ section of the Experimenta 2027 Fair-Competition rules.

This year we dedicate our traditional section of the participation basis to Katherine Blodgett, an American physicist and inventor who worked at General Electric Laboratories on a wide range of topics and held several patents. An American physicist and inventor who worked at General Electric Laboratories on a wide range of topics and held several patents. She is best known for inventing the anti-reflective coating that is now used on the lenses of our eyeglasses and many optical instruments, as well as for the Langmuir-Blodgett method of thin-film deposition.

The Experimenta Fair aims to promote the practice of science and technology and its dissemination by involving secondary school students hands-on, with a focus on the active participation of women in these STEM fields. Aware of the importance of references, for years we have included in our BASIS OF PARTICIPATION the section ‘YOU CAN ALSO BE....’ dedicated to publicise a multitude of women scientists and technologists who have developed research, patents, prototypes in many interesting areas and with great social repercussions.

MEET HERE all our women scientists and technologists
