Greek Women’s Engineering Association – EDEM awarded pupils from 4 High Schools who succeed in Engineering competition among their class mates.

The event took place on 9 Mars 2018, in auditorium in the center of Athens with parents, teachers, pupils and engineers in the audience. Pupils worked in teams of 4, in the frame of the EU ERASMUS+ project EngineerfortheFuture – Engine4F».

Aim of this project is promoting Engineering subjects in High schools and tackling social stereotypes which prevent girls from choosing Engineering studies.

Four high schools participated from Greece: 41st high school of Athens, 1st high School of Zefyri, 3rd High School of Nikaia and Raleios High School.

Subject of the competition was the design and construction of a engineering facility, a robot or an experiment. The 3rd High School of Nikaia won the 1st prize and this team will represent Greece in the European completion of the Engine4F project which will take place in June 2018, in Aveiro, in Portugal.

This project has been funded with support from the European Commission, within the framework of Erasmus Plus Programme (2014 – 2020).

The Project dissemination group, led by WiTEC SWEDEN, announced a competition for all the students at Lund University, School of Industrial Design (in Sweden), to send in their suggestions for a project logotype.

After democratic voting the winner was announced to be Emma Berg and Paul de Medeiros who worked on the design together. We will be presenting the two happy winners in our next newsletter.
