Greenlight for Girls (@green4girls) is an NGO with a mission to encourage girls of all ages to pursue a future in math, science, engineering and technology.

For their upcoming event on November 20th in Brussels, Greenlight for Girls will be bringing together 300 young girls, including my 11 year old daughter Mayke, to learn from role models and mentors.

This free event, targeted at 11-15 year-old Dutch-, French- and English-speaking girls in Belgium, aims to encourage young women to take up careers in science (math, engineering, technology, etc.), by emphasizing the link between science and fun careers, especially those with a creative “bent.”

The event is designed to progress in workshop form, with each workshop leader conducting a workshop for three groups of ten girls.  There will also be a “fun-lab” with activities/entertainment for the girls, including a project display space for event sponsors; and lunch will be served.

You heard the word: sponsors.

Got any ideas or contacts to keep this event free for all participants? Contact fellow girl geek cheryl (at) zendigital (dot) be or @roningirl, as we know her in Twitter.

Thanks!

• We will be driving ourselves – in shiny new cars so we can test them.
• Destination: Paris (!)
• Tuesday night: stay at the Dolce Chantilly hotel

And don’t worry: there’s room for 20 girl geeks!

The new Honda PCX was created for riders who desire the compact, economical advantages of a 125cc scooter and the modern, fashionable good looks more often associated with larger-displacement machines. In every aspect, from its low-noise, low-emissions operation to its easy handling and contemporary image, the Honda PCX is designed as a practical, fast and fun ride.
The Honda PCX is the first Honda scooter which is equipped with Honda’s new CV-Matic and the only scooter on the market equipped with the start-stop function.
