The present article introduces the impact of the “SHE Creates: STEM Edition” Summer School in Greece.

The summer school was a holistic experience for the girls who took part because they gained so much from it: their empathy, team spirit, and creativity grew stronger and more coordinated. And it was so inspiring to see them divide into groups and create flexible ensembles, which helped them to transfer what they had learned. The Summer Academy “SHE Creates: STEM Edition” in June 2024 in Greece worked effectively on empowerment through the education of women's identity in the world of Sustainable Energy.
