Interviewee Aina Riera Coll Robotics researcher

Aina Riera (a fictional example person) researches robotics and spends part of her time visiting schools. She tells us what works to spark interest in science.

The interview

Question: Why are there so few women in technology degrees?

Stereotypes appear very early. If a girl never sees women who code or design robots, it is hard for her to imagine herself doing it.

Question: What can families do?

Do activities together: workshops, museums, building games… and talk about technology as a tool to solve real problems.
