Firoozi is also deeply committed to promoting gender equality in engineering. She notes that women still represent only about 18 percent of engineers in Australia, despite growing awareness and institutional support. To close this gap, she believes educational systems must introduce science and engineering to children in more accessible and creative ways. By sparking curiosity early, she argues, societies can empower both girls and boys to see science not as an intimidating subject but as a joyful exploration of the world.
