The National Museum of UFRJ is open until Friday (24/2) for the extension course Girls with Science: Geology, Paleontology and Gender. The initiative is aimed at girls in grades 6 to 9 of elementary school and aims to show and reaffirm the strength of women in the scientific environment.

Idealized by the scientists of the National Museum from the increasing demand for the discussion of the role of women in society and science, the project brings together a team of paleontologists and geologists for a series of activities during the days 18/3, 25/3, 01 / 4 and 08/4. Among the main attractions are the guided tour of the Museum, classes of paleobotany, manipulation of minerals, preparation of fossils and, of course, lectures on the representation of women in science.

Data from the Research Council Directory of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) show that more and more women occupy positions in national scientific research, but even with numerical parity, the opportunities are not equal. According to Andrea Costa, representative of the Teaching Assistance Section (SAE) and one of the coordinators of the course, access is still greater in the areas of Social and Human Sciences, traditionally understood as female. The project then seeks to give visibility to the work done by women and to end the recurring view in the scientific environment that the area is linked to the male gender. "Several studies discussing the social representations of scientists by the children's public reveal the absence of women and black people from these representations. We understand that this framework needs to be transformed, and the course is oriented in that sense, "he explained.

The initiative is a success in social networks, with about 500 thousand views in the posting of Facebook and 4 thousand shares. According to the organization, in the first five days, more than 350 entries were received. For Professor Luciana Witovisk Gussella, another coordinator of the course, the demand surpassed the expectations of all the team that was directly involved in the construction of the course. "We, researchers, teachers and technicians who work in a historically male area, come together to show the girls in public and private education that they have the right to choose their path," he said.

The success was so great that the team is studying to increase the number of places, which initially would be 20 students, and offer another class in the second semester. "We all love our work, we are truly passionate about rocks, fossils and the stories they tell us. The chance to show what we do and also tell the girls how we got here is a dream that will be fulfilled, "says Luciana.

"In the summer you learn STEMs" is an Italian project of 2017. The initiative involves the funding of projects for the realization of in-depth studies in scientific subjects (mathematics, scientific and technological culture, computer science and codification) to be held in the summer mainly for girls of primary and middle school students. The basis of the initiative is the need to overcome the stereotypes and prejudices that fuel the gap in knowledge between girls and boys over STEM, in the field of study schools and in orientation and professional choices  and to encourage reconciliation of working and living times by encouraging school institutions to keep their premises open for training initiatives for at least two weeks during the summer, the period in which parents have more difficulty in conciliation Life and work times.

Maybe you named one, or two. Chances are you remembered Marie Curie, the famed two-time Nobel Laureate whose work led to the discovery of radioactivity. Yet there are hundreds of female scientists whose work has been foundational to science as we know it today-but many people don't know their names, their faces, or their achievements.

"They were discouraged from getting an education, for fear it would hurt them as wives and mothers. But they persisted."

The neuroscientist-turned-designer Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya is on a mission to change that. Her project Beyond Curie is a series of graphic posters that highlight 32 female scientists from around the world-perfect for hanging in science classrooms.

"There's such a rich history of women kicking ass in science, and very few people know about it. Researching their stories, it became really clear we're standing on the shoulders of giants," she says. "They were discouraged from getting an education, for fear it would hurt them as wives and mothers. But they persisted. Their stories are inspiring and the world should know their names."

The women she's made collages for so far include Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space, Chen-Shiung Wu, a prominent 20th-century physicist who contributed to the Manhattan project, and Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer.

Phingbodhipakkiya launched the project on Kickstarter at the end of January, hoping not only to fund the production of the posters, but to also create a community around the goal.

She asked her backers what the project meant to them, and why it mattered. "I've heard of many of these women's discoveries, but not that it was a woman who did it," one donor wrote to her. "And now, with what is happening in the U.S., with the political climate and normalizing of misogynistic comments I feel it is even more essential that we put the effort into recognizing these women."

She crowdsourced suggestions for scientists from the community as well; because of her background in neuroscience, Phingbodhipakkiya initially had included many women from the biological sciences. But she kept hearing one name again and again- Grace Hopper, the computer scientist famed for coining the term "computer bug"-of whom she'd never heard. "I was a little angry I didn't know about her before," she says.

Phingbodhipakkiya has pursued other projects at the intersection of design and science, including The Leading Strand, which paired neuroscientists with designers who could render complex ideas in simpler terms to help the public understand the scientists' work. She hopes to turn Beyond Curie into an exhibition, and is on the hunt for a publisher to turn the project into a book. Any leftover funds will be donated to the Association for Women in Science.

"Ultimately, I hope that a lot of eyes get on the project so that more people can learn about all these amazing women," she says, "and we can stop thinking that a picture of a scientist is a guy with crazy hair."

DSG clubs is an initiative of WGBH Educational Foundation and FHI 360, which aims at promoting design thinking and global competences to children, aged 10 to 13. Through fun-packed, high energy, hands-on collective activities in a club, the children explore engineering and inventions for a period of either 6 or 12 weeks. They also have a special opportunity to work alongside a partner club from a different country. They share and discuss their ideas in weekly 60-minute sessions and through virtual forms of exchange with their partner clubs. This includes content such as e-mails, photos and videos of their design ideas and club activities
