The four students are taking part in the Bionics Institute Girls in STEM Mentoring Program this year. To inspire young women to choose a career in STEM, the Bionics Institute initiated this Mentoring Program as a way to encourage secondary school students to study science, technology, engineering, or mathematics at university. Through the Program, students work with leading female scientists in a combination of online sessions and site visits. The Program culminates in October with a presentation of their research. back to previous
