Workshop on Civil Engineering at HEPIA – With Expanding Your Horizons - Walks and visits - HEPIA

Description

Dive into the world of civil engineering!Discover the many facets of this exciting profession through hands-on activities in the materials and structures testing laboratory (LEMS) at the Haute École du paysage, d'ingénierie et d'architecture de Genève (HEPIA). On the agenda: brick explosion, candle holder crafting, rescuing a village from flooding, and an introduction to earthquake-resistant structures. You’ll also attend a presentation on the three main branches of civil engineering, to better understand the career opportunities available after these studies. This workshop also aims to encourage girls to consider a career in a field that is still too often male-dominated.   IMPORTANT: MEETING TIME: 13H50Meeting point: At the main entrance of HEPIA, 4 rue de la Prairie, Geneva.  This activity is organised by Elargis tes Horizons (ETH). As a not-for-profit association, we are dedicated to providing girls with experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Around 10 times a year, we offer scientific activities or visits in the Geneva region. They are usually held on Wednesday afternoons and are open to girls aged between 10 and 18.
