2
Hack the World • Our mission = secure supply of skills and competence. • Hack the World = concept / umbrella and a call for action. • "Technology makes the world better” and ”problem solving”. • In order for a broader scoop of people to apply for a technical education, we must eliminate the obstacles that exist, we “hack” the obstacles.
Obstacle 1: Young people (girls) lose interest in technology ...
Obstacles: Young people (girls) lose interest in technology ... • In school: A textbook “Technology - 10 lessons in changing the world “ Free for all schools to order • After School: Youth recreation centers: Teknikfritids Provides students with free internet surfing. But there is a catch: they only get access to educational content with technology as a theme • After school: Collaborations with influencers such as Therese Lindgren New role models, inspiration to try it yourself
Therese testar teknik
Teknikboken
Obstacle 2: The image of the industry is one-sided (the power of the physical image)
Obstacles: The image of the industry is one-sided (the power of the physical image) • A free image bank called Bredda Bilden • For schools, companies and not least the media that use images that represent the technology industry • Consists of pictures of women studying at the Technical University (KTH) or working in the technology industry • Important to highlight the power of the physical image • Also broaden the image of technical environments and tasks • Beginning of a Movement …
Obstacle 3: Girls do not want to study technology or engineering at school because of most guys
Obstacle 3: Girls do not want to search because of most guys who study technology • " Girls who want to study technology" on Facebook • Important with role models to be able to relate to! • Discussion forum - digital meeting place • By girls, for girls • "Girls who study technology" on Instagram • Inspiration! • New ambassador every week • Media attention
Obstacle 4: Poor self- confidence in maths scares girls from technology/ engineering
