Foremost whys and wherefores to carry out our project ‘Queen’s Tech’ were: 1. would like to address the issue of youth unemployment and the upsurge in technology trends which is bringing new job opportunities. The number of jobs in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields are increasing because they are key to reaping the rewards of 4IR, including improved healthcare, access to education, and higher standards of living. On the other hand, STEM fields are also key to dealing with the revolution’s potential downsides, such as climate change, cyber warfare and the reorientation of job sectors. 2. To deepen the understanding and overcome this tradition of gender disparity. Many researchers conducted in the past years have showcased underrepresentation of women in engineering. In general engineering is a traditionally male-dominated field consequently women may be less confident about their abilities, even when performing equally. Even portrayal of scientists and engineers in movies and television shows is largely based male characters. Hence, by conducting this youth exchange we have strived towards to promote the woman role and/or the need to shift the role of the woman in the STEM filed as equal ‘player’ in the further development of the technology. The importance of young girls to reap knowledge, data and information for the imperative involvement of woman in STEM was the driving force which was guiding the organizational team while implementation. Main objectives of the YE “Queen’s Tech” were: - To increase the awareness and interest in STEM field - To increase awareness of the gender gap in STEM field - To improve attitude towards women in STEM field - To increase understanding of career paths in STEM field - To increase confidence and tendency to pursue STEM in higher education and working career - To increase confidence in working with technology - To improve creative thinking among the youngsters and the ability to solve problems - To Increase engagement between young people and role models/mentors in the sector
