CerebroX recently sponsored the first-ever VEX GirlPowered STEM outreach event in the UAE, held at the Maaref School. The event was a massive success, with over 300 schoolgirls attending to learn about robotics and various STEM career paths.
By promoting diversity in STEM education, CerebroX is breaking barriers and empowering girls to pursue their passions in science and technology. The VEX GirlPowered event was a fantastic opportunity for girls to learn and engage with robotics, and it showcased the immense potential and talent of young women in the region.
The coolest part was that over 300 schoolgirls got to build robots from scratch! They used the VEX IQ kits and learned all about the engineering and mechanics that went into their bots. Plus, they got to program them using blocks and even Python!
They were introduced to new STEM career options and shown that there is a place for girls in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It was a fantastic opportunity for these young girls to explore their passions and interests and to see the many exciting career paths that are available to them.
Encouraging girls to explore STEM subjects and careers is not only beneficial for the girls themselves, but it's also crucial for the future of the workplace. Diverse perspectives and experiences lead to more innovative and effective problem-solving, and having more women in STEM fields can lead to more inclusive and equitable workplaces.
Overall, CerebroX's VEX GirlPowered event was a fantastic step towards promoting diversity in STEM education and empowering girls to pursue their passions. We can't wait to hold more initiatives like this in the future!
