Día de las Mujeres en Matemática

Gracias a una invitación de la UMA (Unión Matemática Argentina) nos hemos sumado este año a la celebración del  Día de las Mujeres en Matemática (https://may12.womeninmaths.org/).

Este evento mundial se celebra todos los años recordando el día del nacimiento de Maryam Mirzakhani, matemática iraní fallecida en 2017, quien fue la primera mujer en ser galardonada con la medalla Fields (uno de los máximos premios que otorga la comunidad a sus miembros más destacados).

Women in Maths Day

All Y7&8 students will be watching the movie "Hidden Figures" and then have a discussion about why it is important that everyone's contributions can be important and to encourage an open, welcoming and inclusive work environment for everybody. 

Screening of "Picture a Scientist"

Picture a Scientist started from exploring reports in the late 1990s that exposed significant gender inequity across the sciences. As we dug into the data and spoke with dozens of scientists, we realized the vast extent of the challenges facing women and minority scientists. Despite groundbreaking efforts by the courageous scientists featured in the film and elsewhere, systemic gender bias and racism persist.
