This spring, we had the pleasure of joining Denmark’s largest science education conference, Big Bang, with our FemTech project. We brought our prototypes, hands-on activities, and ideas about inclusive tech education and were met with open minds, great questions, and inspiring conversations.

At our stand and during our talk, we met educators from across the country: from primary schools and youth education programs to university-level teachers. The common thread? A shared curiosity about how technology can be taught differently and more inclusively.

Two things stood out:

A strong appetite for FemTech in younger age groups
Many visitors were excited about the FemTech approach, especially in relation to how it might look in primary and lower secondary schools. The idea of combining creativity, care, and critical thinking in tech education clearly resonated and sparked lots of ideas for future collaborations.

Technology comprehension is gaining ground but support is still needed
The new school subject Teknologiforståelse was a recurring topic. While many teachers are motivated to bring digital literacy and critical thinking into their classrooms, several told us they still feel unsure about how to teach it in practice. This challenge felt like a natural space for FemTech to contribute.

What we take with us

Leaving the conference, we felt both inspired and encouraged. There is real momentum around inclusive technology education and a clear need for teaching tools that feel relevant, engaging, and empowering for both students and teachers.

We’re now exploring how to adapt FemTech activities to fit younger age groups and how we can support teachers who are just starting their journey with technology comprehension.
