Abstract
Enhancement of female students’ access to and success in STEM-related subjects and courses has acquired an unprecedented level of traction in academia. Considering female students’ increased participation in STEM education as a moral imperative, the University of Zululand (South Africa) in partnership with SACAC, South Africa hosted two Girls in Control Workshops at its Science Centre during 2022 and 2023. This article reports on the workshop's purpose and the experiences of the participants. It also makes references to the workshop's implications on various aspects of girls’ participation in STEM education in general and control engineering in particular. The article thus places the need for instilling a high degree of receptiveness to STEM-related careers among girls from previously marginalized communities.
