Girlsday Drawings
| Submitter: | Roy Smits |
| Description: | As every year, ASTRON has participated in the yearly Girlsday. Today we present the wonderful artwork that the Girlsday-Girls have produced at ASTRON during live chat-session with females astronomers. The chat session involved chatting (via Skype) with a professional female astronomer. All questions were allowed; from work to hobbies to even more personal details. Part of the assignment was to draw their findings onto an A3-paper. Working in pairs, they produced some magnificent artwork showing the astronomer, her work and many aspects of her personal life. This exercise connects the image of a female astronomer to the personal world of the students. Many thanks to all the Girlsday-Girls, and the female astronomers who volunteered to answer all the girl's questions, to make this event so very successful! All drawings have been sent to the relevant astronomer as a reminder of this event. More information about Girlsday in the Netherlands can be found at http://www.girlsday.nl |
