As part of my self directed module in my second year at university, I decided to undetake a zine project aimed at children between the ages of 9 -11 . The goal was to teach children about women in STEM, and inspire ,especially young girls, to follow their dreams.
Being Polish myself, I take great pride in my heritage, and doing a zine about Maria Skłowdowska-Curie felt natural. The world renound scientist who, with her husband Pierre Curie, made a world changing discovery, and their story was so much more than a texbook biography.
Through this project, I got to explore collage and mark making in an imaginative way, as well as learning how to communicate factual information to older children in an engaging way.
