Steampunk believes that we should address the subject of women's empowerment because sadly the number of young women in the scientific field is small. Case and point, the small amount of women in our own team - this year Steampunk consists 22 students, while only 3 of them are girls (and that was the same case in previous years).
We decided to perform the activity among young kids, and that's why we chose the junior high schools as our main audiance.
We organized the Women's Empowerment's day in "Eshkol Hapais", the center of science in ra'anana, and invited all the girls with the highest grades in the scientific subjects.
At the day of the activity we passed a short lecture to the students about the robotics program at Aviv, the FIRST organization and competitions, and the technological field in general.
In addition to this we spoke of science and technology at the academic level in Israel while repeating the motto "so can you".
We included riddles as one of the activaties, as well as constructing hot air ballons from house hold materials (including an explanation of the science behind the activaty), in which the girls took intrest.

A great deal of our activities have to do with women's empowermet using science, we feel it is very importent.
also in previous years the team ran activities, they were always fun and somewhat fruitfull, for the number of girls in the FLL teams has risen and one previous FLL student is now part of the Steampunk team.
