Pupils from the comprehensive school Gesamtschule am Forstgarten in Kleve record their podcast "We empower girls" in the Faculty of Technology and Bionics. They are supported by Dr. Maryam Bolouri, research associate in the field of science communication, and Naomi McLaughlan, research associate for digitization in higher education.

The podcast project was set up in the school as part of the "We empower girls" project, of the children and youth foundation, in order to motivate girls to pursue typically male career paths. In their podcast, the eight students talk about trades and STEM courses, sometimes with guests and experts, guided by the school's social worker, Petra Bothorn.

The employees of the faculty support the schoolgirls, especially with the technical side, help them in the faculty's audio laboratory with the recordings and the subsequent editing, but also advise on various topics and how the podcast can best be marketed.
