Girls into Electronics

The Electronic Engineering department is hosting a day-long event aimed at inspiring the next generation of female engineers.  Since its founding, Royal Holloway, University of London has had a long history in women’s education. The Department of Electronic Engineering is proud to continue this tradition and give to as many women as possible the opportunity to make a difference through engineering.
