For the first time at a g4g event we were approached by greenlight girls, who have attended our events in previous years, got inspired and decided they would like to get involved more... how? Well by giving a workshop themselves of course!
Daisies, Princess Scientists, Lasers, DNA, Chemistry, Big Bang... yes it was our 4th g4g day in Brussels!!
Greenlight Girls go Stargazing with Astrophysicists in Brazil!
At g4g, we often speak about the word geek. Or the word nerd. Or other such words that are used, and often not in a nice way, to describe someone who is too intellectual or perhaps someone who is too knowledgeable or too enthusiastic in something scientific. As you may already know, we at greenlight for girls wish to change the negative connotation of the word geek. We even put together a video about this for kids.
Our first g4g@Athens Day!
A word from our Founder....
Many years ago, too many to admit, I met an entrepreneur who I decided to stalk. Now this probably wasn’t real stalking (social media hadn’t been invented yet), but I did find every article written about her and I figured out a way to meet her and interview her for one of my MBA assignments. I remember we had this amazing, insightful conversation. However brief in actual time spent, I learned volumes. She probably didn’t know that she became my silent mentor from that day forward – just from that one conversation. She fascinated me.
