On 19 March, researcher Noelia Fl\u00f3rez took part as a speaker in an event organised by Ponferrada City Council to mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Held at Casa de la Cultura, the event brought together 5th and 6th grade pupils from CEIP Navaliegos, CEIP Campo de los Jud\u00edos, CEIP Campo de la Cruz, CEIP Pe\u00f1alba and CEIP La Inmaculada \u2013 Concepcionistas.
\nAlmost 200 children attended a presentation on how science has evolved in terms of the gender gap. The session highlighted the importance of continuing to build a more inclusive and equal scientific community, while encouraging students to believe in their own potential and to see science as a path open to everyone.
\nThe event also featured a hands-on workshop on sphere formulation using sodium alginate, a natural compounds obtained from brown macroalgae. Through this activity, the children were able to see how a perfect sphere can be formed from two liquids, offering them a simple yet striking introduction to scientific experimentation.
\nInitiatives like this help spark an interest in science from an early age and underline the importance of outreach activities in bringing research closer to society.<\/p>\n
