What's On @ Otago Museum – Week of 7 December

100 WOMEN, 100 WORDS,
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

From punk rock engineers to stay-at-home mothers, from senior university academics to little girls with big dreams; scientists are everywhere and science is all around us. 100 women, 100 words... infinite possibilities responds to the question of "what does a scientist look like?" and the answer is... anything!

Come and celebrate the women nominated by Otago/Southland as those who actively live, work, and inspire others with STEM in all areas of their lives. These individuals, their passions, and their stories make them role models for everyone. Come along, and be inspired.
