As a trained physicist I work on increasing women* and girls* participation in STEM. I was the project coordinator of Diversity in the Cultures of Physics (an Erasmus+ project) that aims to create spaces for women in physics. As part of this project we published a lesson plan series: Reflections on Gender & Physics.
I also was coordinating the MINToring project to encourage girls* in physics and computer science.
In my spare time I am part of the women* hackspace Heart of Code e.V. in Berlin and the bigger network of F.U.C.K. (Frauen* und Computer Kram - Women and Computer Stuff). I am involved with cryptoparty Berlin, where we organize workshops to teach and share knowledge about encryption and digital self defense. I coach at codecurious (former RailsGirls Berlin) to get more women into programming.
And I am absolutely obsessed with everything LED. Here is a link to my LED-Twitter.
