🏎️ Stemettes returned to Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team last week on the final day of our Agile Certification Academy 🏎️ After 2 days of learning the basics of Agile Project Management, Stemettes headed out of London to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team operations centre for a day of lightning talks, an introduction to LinkedIn and a tour of the HQ! Participants were also able to meet graduates and apprentices from Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team and take part in speed networking and a career clinic. We finished the day with sessions on career mapping, mood-boarding and fireside chats - not forgetting every participant leaving with a goody bag in true Stemettes style! 🏁 Feedback from the event found that: ☑️ 100% of attendees now want to study or pursue a #STEAM subject/career in the future ☑️ 93% of attendees felt this event helped them understand how being creative is really important in STEAM and are now likely to consider a career combining elements of STEM and the Arts in the future. Participants said that some unexpected benefits included... 🌟 "Not being afraid to speak up and out and meeting new people" 🌟 🌟 "Actually having connections to the workers at Mercedes" 🌟 🌟 "How friendly the work environment at Mercedes is!" 🌟 We want to give a big Stemettes THANK YOU to all attendees, volunteers and the folks at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, including Hiran Odedra, Sophie Harrison and Leah C. , for making these few days such a success - we couldn't have done it without you! #Stemettes #MercedesAMG #AgileCertification #STEMCareers #WomenInSTEM #CareerDevelopment #FormulaOne Anca Raines Benjamin Maloigne Carla Herrero Cornejo Emma Neillie Josée Klappe Hannah W.

As we're wrapping up the academic year, we asked our Stemette Society members 'did/does the current #STEAM curriculum make you feel empowered?' 🤔 ❗ A staggering 58% of those asked stated that the curriculum DID NOT make them feel empowered. Here's what they had to say... ❗ 🗣️ "The content is very interesting but most of what we learn was all discovered by white males. I feel more empowered by seeing diversity in fields I am interested in instead!" 🗣️ "The curriculum wasn't empowering but my teacher was! Her love for Computer Science is the main thing I remember from her classes and her active encouragement for more young people to join her lunchtime computing club" 🗣️ "The STEAM curriculum was largely focused on cis white male achievements and contributions to their respective fields...Homogeneity was prevalent through my secondary school curriculum. The uniformity was disempowering as it left me without any inspirational figures to look up to or see myself in" 🗣️ "I think A-Level STEM has felt like the most disempowering thing I have EVER done (and yet somehow it's the STEM industry i find myself entering still). I think I managed to keep my love for STEM through industry experience because A-Level Maths and Computer Science came with no positivity" 🗣️ "I think in terms of the curriculum, there is often not enough focus on how subjects connect together and the applications of subjects like Maths and Physics in Industry. There was not enough emphasis on the interdisciplinary between STEM and arts which sometimes made me feel like I had to choose one or the other" 🌟 Want to find out how you can ensure that the GCSE and A-LEVEL STEM curriculum has equitable representation throughout? 🌟 Download, digest and share our Equitable Curriculum Change White Paper here ➡️ stemettes.org/whitepaper #STEM #EquitableCurriculum #DiversityInSTEM #WomenInSTEM #EmpowermentInEducation #InclusiveLearning

🌟 We're still thinking about how amazing our 'Achieve, Grow, Change' Hack with Pure Storage and Natilik was earlier this month! 🌟 At the Natilik offices in London, we looked at Cloud Computing x Green Energy, innovating ideas for a cloud computing service that is mindful of the environment. Participants used tools such as AppShed, AppInventor and CodePen to materialise their ideas before presenting in front of a panel of our fantastic volunteer judges! We had some fantastic feedback from the young people that came along: 🗣 "It was very fun! I was able to present an idea i had collaborated with my friend on which i haven’t had the chance to do anywhere else!" 🗣 "I enjoyed the food and the coding bit. it was very yummy and the coding and presentation made me think more about eco friendly data centres" 🗣 "It was a relaxing environment where i had the opportunity to make friends and be creative" And of all attendees, 86.84% felt that their confidence in STEAM had improved after this event. 🙌 🎊 We want to extend a BIG Stemettes thank you to Pure Storage, Natilik, Katie Griffiths, Wendy Stusrud, Hayley Knott and all of our fantastic volunteers - we couldn't have done this without you! 🎊 #Stemettes #DiversityinSTEM #STEAM #WomeninSTEM #PureStorageStemettes #NatilikStemettes

At the start of July, I had the pleasure of volunteering with Stemettes alongside fellow female engineers from Thales to inspire young women and non-binary individuals to pursue STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) passions! I was honoured to be on the panel alongside Ellie Stratton and Eilidh Dougherty to talk about our journeys into engineering as members of the early careers community here at Thales and to share some advice we would have given our younger selves. It was lovely to see such creativity and enthusiasm from the students throughout the day!

I recently joined a #STEM Goals session at our Reading site, where Thales employees, along with our partner Stemettes and local students, came together. The aim of the session was to encourage and motivate young girls and non-binary individuals to pursue their dreams in science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Our employees dedicated their volunteering hours to deliver the session, assisting the students in gaining valuable skills ranging from coding to problem-solving. Through this hands-on experience, they acquired a wealth of knowledge and insight. I strongly believe that by promoting a diverse and inclusive STEM community, that we can unlock limitless potential for innovation. #Innovation #volunteering

"Today signifies a milestone, not an end to new knowledge, research or problems to solve. Make a conscious effort to continue hearing and seeking new perspectives, as well as connecting the dots across disciplines. It’s not said often enough that the best innovation comes from cross-disciplinary approaches and diverse inputs." 👏 Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE gave an inspirational speech when she was today officially installed as Chancellor of the University − getting our summer graduation programme under way. https://lnkd.in/eM9XzFbN Dr A-Marie I.
