When girls see women like them teaching and sharing science, it becomes easier to believe they belong in it too.
A recent report by
@tabadlab - The Missing Ustaani, finds that teacher shortages hit girls hardest, with subject specialists among the most critical gaps.
And in girls’ schools, only women can fill that gap: too few women trained in science means too few chances for girls to learn it. Every woman who learns to teach and share science adds to that pool, in her own community.
This Winter Join the Science Fuse Fellowship to learn how you can play a part in nurturing a sense of belonging & scientific literacy in Pakistan’s girls & boys who don’t have access to great quality Science Engagement & Education.
🍂 Over five weeks, you’ll explore how children learn science through curiosity and investigation, why access to science isn’t equal for everyone, and how we can make science more welcoming and meaningful for children from different backgrounds.
🎈 You’ll then work in a team to plan and deliver a hands-on, inquiry-based Science Karkhana for children in an underserved community, putting what you’ve learnt into practice.
✏️ Along the way, you’ll build your skills in science engagement, teamwork, fundraising and leadership, while reflecting on who gets to feel that they belong in science — and why.
🌻 You must be 16 or older to apply. Whether you’re a student, teacher, parent, or someone with a passion for science and learning, you don’t need to be a science expert to get started. What matters is your willingness to learn, work with others and help bring meaningful science experiences to children.
📅 Dates: 20 November – 23 December 2026
✨Format: Online training and team preparation, followed by an in-person, 90-minute Science Karkhana at an underserved school in your city.
💰 Fee: PKR 4,000
