"We risk missing half of the population's ideas," says Sara Kernen. She and her fellow technologist Linn Jendeby have developed the campaign "Technology – Save the Planet Program" during their time at the Association of Swedish Engineering Industries. The aim is to get more girls to choose technology in upper secondary school.
