Outreach Event for Girls in Physics in Cape Town
I was so privileged to be able to attend the outreach event for girls as part of the 4th ICWIP Conference. On Saturday morning we drove to a local school where more than 200 girls (and a few boys) and their physics teachers arrived about 9:30 in the morning. It was a spring break for them, yet so many of the students came. I was one of the presenters. I spoke about my life and why I decided to pursue a physics career. We had a number of presenters from different countries and I hope the girls had fun there. I also felt so fortunate that I after all these years do something I love doing.
