International Women’s Day: Top 5 Resources & Printables!
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year’s theme is #BreakTheBias and all are invited on the 8th of March to get involved and help forge women’s equality.
Here are our Top 5 recommended activities and printables that are perfect for home or school:
- You can access the official International Women’s Day resources here. There are selfie cards, videos, children’s activity packs & so much more!
- Compound Interest has produced an awesome set of Women in Chemistry cards. They include women from history and women currently working in the field.
- STEM Ambassador Spotlights: If you’re a teacher, you can download our STEM Ambassador Spotlights & use them as an activity. Learners can discover more about STEM professionals, STEM careers & get to grips with an ambassador challenge!
- Women in STEM Posters: We found two sensational sets, one here from Nevertheless (with accompanying podcast) and the other here from Energy.gov.
- Darcy & Brian: These wonderful Women in STEM colouring and writing pages are perfect for primary children and a brilliant way to start some in-class research on these phenomenal innovators. (Newsletter sign-up required for download.)
Bonus: We know we said Top 5 but we had to include Women in Space!
Women like Wanda Díaz-Merced , an astronomer best known for using sonification to turn data sets into audible sound. As someone who has lost their eyesight, she is a leader in increasing equality of access to astronomy and using audible sound to study astrophysical data. Wanda has been included in the list of the 7 most trailblazing women in science by the BBC!
