A drawing contest was organized as part of the March 8th celebrations: International Women’s Day, and February 11th: International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Schoolchildren from various primary and vocational education centers in Cantabria participated in this contest, where they had to depict the role of women in Prehistory.
The aim of this contest was to challenge the traditional roles associated with women in the past (for example, the belief that there were no female hunters). After receiving hundreds of drawings, three participants were awarded for their originality and scientific representation. The prizes included visits to the Museum of Prehistory, books about women scientists, and a tour of the EvoAdapta laboratory.
The winners were:
FIRST PRIZE: Olivia Artabe Abásolo | 3rd year ESO | IES Ría del Carmen
SECOND PRIZE: Emma Fernández García | 2nd year FPB | CIFP La Granja
THIRD PRIZE: Deva Fernández López | 2nd year ESO | Colegio Sagrada Familia
