Atomic Girls 2024: successful activity that promotes science among young Chilean women
21 girls from different regions of the country participated in the third version of the workshop
What is Atomic Girls?
Atomic Girls is an initiative of the SAPHIR Millennium Institute that seeks to prepare high school students for the first years of undergraduate studies and to stimulate their interest in science. The workshop consists of assembling, testing and analyzing data from a detector of muons, subatomic particles from space.
The application process for Atomic Girls has begun!
We have already kicked off the third version of the Atomic Girls program, an initiative designed to empower girls and spark their interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
