Role models play a crucial part in developing girls’ and women’s interests, and this applies to many unrepresented subjectivities. The workshop provides participants throughout the history and evolution of both science and technology, with the aim of exploring their constructs but also highlighting the contribution of colonized peoples, women, LGBTQ*, and differently able.
