The 2021 Girls Engineering Talk event was held non-face-to-face online. This lecture was a great opportunity for female scientists to increase their interest in engineering and dream of the future through their own stories and lectures on promising science and technology. In particular, Minister of Science and ICT Lim Hye-sook, who gave a keynote lecture, told her story honestly, including state-funded students selected after four attempts, and her work-family study abroad life, and asked the next generation of female scientists to dream and challenge.
