STEM event - Brussels

Today I participated to the STEM-event in Brussels. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and wants to make young people aware of the many perspectives that have technical and scientific jobs to offer.
A lot of ministers were present at the STEM event: Ministers Kris Peeters, Pascal Smet, Ingrid Lieten en Philippe Muyters

With Pascal Smet (Minister of Flemish Education)


Above all be cool ! (with Juno and Young ICT lady of the year 2014 Wendy Vermoesen)

For the event a STEM promo film was launches. For the film I went with Digital Girl 2013 Lune Van Ewijk to Kris Peeters and we learned him the basics of code. You can see it in the film on You Tube: STEM_event_making a social robot
