At Hästöskolan in Karlskrona, fourth graders have for a time focused on Swedish innovators and inspirers through the ages, according to sources. In the work, they have also read about various technical inventions, though the specific inventions studied have not been detailed. Students Edith Giertz and Margarita Tripper have in the project gotten to study space designer Cecilia Hertz.
It is thanks to an invitation from those students that she has now visited the school. "It seems very fun to work with space," says Edith Giertz. The visit is part of the school's project to get girls to open their eyes to technical subjects.
"We hope that the children will become more interested in technology. It is also very important to get girls into this industry," says teacher Kristin Dittmer. The exact duration or timeline of the project focusing on Swedish innovators remains unclear.
