In the Spotlight
Girls’ Day 2023 at the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab in Munich, Germany
At Dassault Systèmes, enabling businesses and people to harmonize product, nature and life has been our mission. It is core to our business. Through the creation of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, innovators all over the world are invited to join us in this mission. As of today, there are four 3DEXPERIENCE Labs in the world, and the one of Munich has been opened in September 2022.
Usually, the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is where innovators get together to foster entrepreneurship and bring new experiences to life. On April 27, however, the visitors were far younger but just as innovative: twenty girls aged 11 years and older looked behind the scenes of the innovation lab in Munich, Germany, as part of the nationwide Girls’ Day, a career-orientation project for girls.
The project’s objective is to expand women’s spectrum of vocational choices. Influenced by social role models, most female students choose their professions based on gender. Girls’ Day offers the opportunity to look into work environments, which are, as yet, unknown to many girls.
A perfect occasion for Dassault Systèmes to join in and offer the female students the opportunity to explore the world of 3D modeling and technology.

Inspiration and Challenges
May is also a month to pay tribute to the earth thanks to the Earth Day, as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. Amidst this celebration, it is crucial to highlight the significance of the Yangtze Finless porpoise, an endangered species found in China’s Yangtze River. By raising awareness about this remarkable creature, we can emphasize the need for conservation efforts to ensure the survival of not only this species but also the delicate ecosystems they inhabit.
That’s why we propose, this month, to design and print your own Yangtze Finless porpoise using Apps for Kids with the Mech It app.
Here is a video that could help you:
