Girls’ Day 2014 at Holografika

In 2014 Girls’ day was organized in Hungary by NaTE (Association of Hungarian Women in Science) for the third time. Holografika also participated for the third time. Girls’ day originally started out in Germany with the purpose to motivate girls to get into the currently heavily male-dominated engineering professions by showing them the varied work and the impact that engineering have on everyday life.

At Holografika we had 11 girls visiting us, all aged between 15-17 and with a wide spectrum of interests. When asked about why they chose Holografika from the list of possible companies to visit they said that they’ve heard about Holografika’s display technology from friends or seen 3D movies in the cinema and wondered how it could be done better. Originally some girls were more interested in the fine arts but we believe we encouraged them to consider engineering, 3D visualization and media as future career choices. The girls were very enthusiastic and curious about how Holografika creates its display technology. They especially enjoyed talking to our engineers about the challenges they face in their everyday work.
