Practical information for the biennial event

 

The 8th EYH Biennial Science Event took place on November 16 2024. See the video and photos.

 

The 9th EYH Biennial Science Event will be held in November 2026

The EYH Science Event combines fun and hands-on experiments. It offers memorable activities to girls aged 11 - 14 years old, or 8P and CO (or equivalent) living in Geneva and its surrounding regions. This year, some forty activities will be presented by women working in the fields of science, mathematics, engineering and technology (STEM) in French and English. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, all activities and lunch are free !
 
Lots of inspiring workshops and a Discovery Fair

We hope to attract 400 girls to the event who will choose from some 24 workshops to attend and visit 20 stands. The event will be full of activities to inspire girls and show that science and technology can be fun and interesting.

Have a look at the list of exciting workshops and discovery fair stands that were proposed in 2024.
