| Basic
concept |
In Malawi like other Southern African countries women
and girls have limited perspectives as they make their choice
of career. Consequently their participation in areas such
as mathematics, science, computing and engineering remains
very low. Examples of the low representation of women in
these traditionally men-dominated areas are many. This project
will disseminate information to motivate those women who
want to venture into such disciplines. |
Detailed Description
|
The objective of this project is to create women role
model information portal based on successes in computing,
science, mathematics and engineering for women to motivate
young women to enter scientific and computing disciplines
which are traditionally men-dominated areas.
This project will create high quality web based content,
news, mailing lists and discussion forums. Using electronic
publications and newsletters the portal will offer opt in
mailing lists of motivational women role models in non-traditional
academic and professional careers. |
„I hope the information that this project
will give, will be enough motivation for young ambitious
who want to pursue a career in the sciences but are scared
to take that path!”
