“Inspiring Girls Expeditions” by Marijke Habermann

Inspiring Girls Expeditions are unique, FREE, wilderness science education programs for high school girls. Each summer a team of 9 teenage girls and 3 instructors spend 12 days exploring and learning about glaciers and the alpine landscape. They conduct scientific field studies with professional glaciologists, mountain guides and artists. Marijke will tell stories about the program, and she will talk about the impact the program has on her and fellow instructors.

About Marijke:

Marijke is a software engineer in SAP-related fields. She has a masters in physics from ETH and studied glaciers for her PhD. Understanding snow and ice through models was her entry point into programming. She brought Girls on Ice to Switzerland to help girls build self esteem, become climate advocates, and discover opportunities in STEM.
