This Year, Girl's Day Once Again Attracted Significant Interest
This year, our university once again jointed the Women in Science Association in the initiative "Girls' Day," a nationwide career orientation event designed to promote professions related to STEM fields among schoolgirls. We welcomed upper primary and secondary school girls to our faculties, laboritories, and research centers, where, through interactive progrmmes and with the guidance of our experts, they were introduced to the worlds of science, technology, and IT.
The programme focused on hands-on experience, interactive learning, and the presentation of female role models. The organizers aim each year to demonstrate that careers in engineering and the natural sciences are creative, socially valuable, and offer excellent opportunities for women as well.
Alba Regia Faculty
At the Obuda University Alba Regia Faculty, 24 schoolgirls had the opportunity to gain insight into seven professions during the Girls' Day programme titled "Create in the Present, Dream the Future!". Through presentations delivered specifically by female professionals, participants were introduced to the fields of data science, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, mechatronics engineering, engineering informatics, and electrical engineering.
The aim of the career orientation day was to showcase as many successful female career paths as possible within the domains of natural sciences, engineering, and economics. The first session was delivered by students of the Sports Economics master's programme, who engaged participants through an interactive quiz. Among the corporate partners, Arconic joined this year's university programme, presenting manufacturing processes in a visually engaging manner using demonstrative tools.
Following the presentations, participants visited the VR laboratory and the robotics laboratory in two groups, where they became acquainted with the university's advanced infrastructure and equipment. The organizers expressed confidence that the schoolgirls arriving from Székesfehérvár and the surrounding region enjoyed their time on campus, and that several of them were inspired to pursue careers in the fields of science, information technology, economics, and engineering.
Bánki Donát Faculty of Mechanical and Safety Engineering
Girls' Day also attracted considerable interest at the Bánki Faculty, where participants attended a range of engaging technical presentations and experiments, and also gained insight into what it is like to pursue and succeed in an engineering career as a woman.
The programme provided an experience-based introduction to the wide variety of fields within the technical domain, while offering secondary school girls the opportunity to become more familiar with engineering thinking and practical technical work. Participants took part in numerous exciting presentations and experiments, and had the chance to meet both instructors and students, who introduced them to different areas of specialization.
Kandó Kálmán Faculty of Electrical Engineering
A rich and engaging Girls' Day programme was held at the Kandó Faculty, where participants explored the world of science through playful and visually engaging activities.
During the morning session, they created their own badges and attended exciting presentations on the relationship between nature and technology, symmetry, and one of the greatest mysteries of the universe: dark matter. A highlight of the program was the high-voltage demonstration, where participants could observe spectacular electrical phenomena at close range.
The day concluded with a special Japanes Ikebana workshop, offering insight into the principles of balance and harmony.
John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics
Within the framework of the "Technology Discovery Day - 3D Printing, Biotechnology, and AR/VR Experiences" program, participants gained a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge technological solutions while also acquiring hands-on, experience-based knowledge. The event was organized across three interconnected locations. At the first stop of the visit, participants were introduced to the world of 3D printing. During the demonstration, they became familiar with the fundamental principles, operation, and practical applications of the technology. They were not merely observers but active participants in the process: in the form of a collaborative 3D printing project, they experienced firsthand how a digital model is transformed into a tangible object.
The programme continued in the BioTech laboratory, where they were welcomed with a device-based demonstration and had the opportunity to test the shocased technologies themselves. Throughout the day, all participants were able to gain first-hand experience with the applications of virtual reality, including the PathoVR system and other innovative tools.
The programme provided an ideal opportunity for those wishing to eplore and experience future technologies more closely within an inspring university environment.
Rejtő Sándor Faculty of Light Industry and Industrial Design
The Doberdó út campus opened its doors wide to future women engineers, who were able to spend a truly inspiring morning with us in a direct and welcoming atmosphere.
The programme began with a dynamic student union (HÖK) presentation in the Schmalz Hall, where participants not only learned about student life but also took part in a quiz with exciting prizes. In the main hall, creativity took center stage: visitors could admire impressive project work and an exhibition of fashion and garment designs created by students of industrial product and design engineering. The most adventurous participants also had the opportunity to try themselves in a creative fashion design workshop.
The excitement of engineering sciences was brought to live through a hydrology and hydraulics workshop, where visually engaging systemrs were constructed using plastic tubes and syringes. During the day, participants also gained insight into the technological background of environmental protection, including the control systems of wasterwater treatment plants and waste sorting facilities.
As part of the laboratory visits, participants explored the sweing workshop and manufacturing technology laboiratory of the Institute of Product Design. The event concluded with a microscopic exploration session, where, using a smartboard display, they discovered the hidden, close-up world of paper and printing.
