Mária Telkes, Daphne Oram, Leena Gade, Annie Easley and Johanna Weber made essential contributions that helped revolutionize science. This workshop at CosmoCaixa explores the work of these five women scientists through hands-on activities.

Using a format similar to an escape room, participants work in small groups to solve riddles that require reasoning, ingenuity and critical thinking. A series of timed challenges will guide participants to discover keys to experiments related to each scientist's discoveries. Completing one challenge unlocks the next, until all the puzzles in the activity are solved.

The experiments will cover various fields of science, including optics, electricity, magnetism, mechanics and acoustics. And best of all, all the activities use simple materials that can be replicated at home.
