Encouraging female STEAM vocations in the field of energy

Efigy Girls is an initiative promoted by the Foundation to encourage female talent in STEAM disciplines within the field of energy.

This educational proposal, within the framework of the Efigy Education Programme, seeks to awaken interest in STEAM disciplines among girls through innovative training experiences based on collaboration and teamwork. The training programme, which was implemented in highly specialised schools in Spain in September 2023 and which has the support of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the Institute for Just Transition, will last for three years.

The Efigy Girls educational proposal –promoted by the Naturgy Foundation as an expression of its commitment to talent and equal opportunities for girls– focuses on robotics, technology, science, energy, environmental efficiency through innovation, creativity, teamwork and collaboration.
