On February 11th, in celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Noelia González-Ballesteros from the Universidade de Vigo visited a local primary school to engage with students about the vital role of women in science.
During her visit, Noelia introduced the children to the fascinating world of green synthesis of nanomaterials. Through interactive discussions and hands-on scientific experiments, she sparked curiosity and encouraged students to think critically about sustainable scientific practices.
The visit aimed not only to promote scientific knowledge but also to inspire young girls to see themselves as future scientists, innovators, and leaders in the field. By sharing her own journey in science, Noelia offered a relatable role model and encouraged the children to ask questions, explore ideas, and embrace curiosity.
Empowering the next generation through such initiatives is key to fostering a more inclusive and sustainable scientific community. Kudos to Noelia González-Ballesteros for her inspiring work and dedication to education and outreach!
