About the talk

How do you assign the school where we will give our talk?

The #100tífica-school matching is done automatically by prioritizing modalities, mobility, languages, etc. The algorithm maximises matches, but the exact match is hard to achieve. Therefore, it is important to contact the centre we have assigned to you as soon as you receive the assignment letter by email (it includes your personal details and the information about the school, also available in your private area).

You should receive this letter about 15 days before the talk, with enough time to coordinate with the centre. It is recommended that you check your spam folder if you think it should have reached you around.

Talks take place generally on February 11th –International Day of Women and Girls in Science– at 11 am. If the day falls on a holiday, we will suggest another working day close to that date. However, you can always agree with the centre on the day and time that suits you best, within that week.

How do we prepare our talk?

During the months of January and February, we organise training workshops so that you can focus well on the topics and catch those that raise higher interest. The dates of the workshops will be published on the website as they are scheduled. Once the workshops registration is open, you will have a free place available by strict order of registration. However, you have reference materials at your disposal (workshops recorded, presentations of previous trainings, templates for the talk, didactic guide, etc.) on tools section.

Remember that your talk should tell your life experience and be inspiring for boys and girls so that they know that they can always choose science.

Should we give the talk in person or virtually?

You can choose the mode you prefer – we will try to prioritise it. Whatever the case is, schools are required to provide a videoconference link at the time of registration, so that they guarantee at least the possibility of doing it remotely.

If you have the chance to do it face-to-face, please indicate your margin of mobility in the registration form (throughout Catalonia or within a region).

 Whether the talk is face-to-face or virtual, please test the videoconference link provided by the school (you can find it in the assignment letter).

How long should our talk be?

Ideally, it should not exceed 1h in total (from the very beginning until the Q&A part). If you are teaming up with another scientist, plan a longer duration with the centre.

Whether the talk is face-to-face or virtual, it is important that you previously agree with the centre on the dynamics of the session.

How old are the students?

They are boys and girls from 6th year primary and 1st CSE (Compulsory Secondary Education, around 11-13 years old).
