• According to UNESCO, only 28% of engineering graduates are women
• The lack of female role models in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) turns girls away from these careers, which perpetuates the shortage of role models for girls in the future
• To break this vicious circle, on February 11th SEAT S.A. is launching an initiative to introduce the company’s STEM women to girls and boys between the ages of 8 and 17

One of the 5th grade classes at the American School of Barcelona is getting ready for a different kind of day. Today they’re welcoming a visitor who could change their lives and shape their future, or at least that’s what she’s aiming for. “My name is Sara Riera, I studied Mathematics and Industrial Engineering, I’m the head of Energy & Charging Services at SEAT S.A., and I’m here today to tell you about my experience as a woman in science.” The classroom is silent, but after one girl raises her hand to ask the first question, more and more hands hands go up. This could be the first time they’ve met a women with a STEM career (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
