Objective

Promoting girls' interest in STEM subjects and their choice of study and career

Brief description

CyberMentor is Germany's largest online mentoring program for girls in STEM. Up to 800 schoolgirls in grades 5 to 13 are accompanied by a personal mentor for a year. As a role model, she encourages STEM activities and gives advice on study and career choices. Mentoring takes place via a protected online platform with email, chat and forum and is supported by a wide range of information on STEM, studying and career choices. It is possible to join the program in April and October of each year. This allows participants to join the program promptly and actively support each other in different project phases.
All STEM women from business and science as well as students of a STEM subject from the 3rd semester onwards and apprentices starting from the 2nd year of training can become mentors.
