Recruiting female pupils for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)

In addition to the explicit appeal to female pupils through the Girls’ Day or the website “Kann ich MINT?” (Can I do STEM?), female pupils are targeted specifically in the course of central programmes such as in Schüler*innen Mentoring (mentoring for pupils), TU Day, Students@School, the studentsofTUdarmstadt’s blog & social media channels, also in addition to the podcast fuTUre students. The objectives are to break up stereotypes and increase the interest among female pupils to study STEM subjects and reinforce this decision through an appropriate choice of majors (in school).
