The box game “Your Decision” that was introduced to school counsellors to have their students play was the captive part of the seminars. In the game, players in the roles of women engineers in six specialties tried to respond to the problems in the mindset of an engineer. Some players had challenging times while trying to find the fine balance between time, quality and budget.

Implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Family and Social Policies, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Limak Foundation, “Turkey’s Engineer Girls” Project aspires to demonstrate that women too can become engineers by eliminating gender inequalities and stereotypes in professional life. The Project continues with scholarships and role model exercises provided to girls studying engineering.
