Demonstrations¶
Demonstrations are short activities to showcase a practice of making and to give visibility to the lab or the creators of the projects. This format is great for open events, as starter activities and when it is not allowed for people to touch/use materials ( as it was the case during the pandemic). Demonstrations can occur in one station, showing only one practice or can run in many stations to showcase a large diversity of practices. It is possible then to optimise the experience according to the timing we have available for the demonstration. For instance, you can make groups rotate from one station to one other with various facilitators and a good time keeper. Demonstrations are best suitable for : fairs, markets, open lab days, exhibitions, conferences.
Exhibition at 11F: International Day of Women and Girls in Science¶

Description
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science was celebrated on February 12th 2022. LEON created an exhibition of the Poderosas textile projects that 25 girls had carried out in 2021, including 7 of the participants of Shemakes Phase 1, and that were presented to families and friends. The two young ambassadors were also part of the event and talked through their experience of the shemakes.eu project to the public, which produced great inspiration among the girls and admiration among the families that attended with the girls. The participants were asked to answer some questions related to their main concerns about the future of their girls and the answers were reflected in the below word clouds. The red word cloud illustrates the interest of young girls to become scientists; the green word cloud shows how important it is for parents to transmit strong values to children, so that they can face their future with greater serenity.

The children were able to explain their projects to their families and the families of their peers. Explaining the techniques they had used to carry out their textile projects helped the kids to strengthen their public speaking, in addition to internalising the learning they had done in the previous months. In the same way, the families were aware of the technological skills of the children and the possibilities that textiles have in a wide range of projects.
