Girls Into Engineering is a celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This free event will give a hands-on introduction to electronic engineering and give you the opportunity to talk to women about their experiences studying and working in Engineering. Lunch will be provided.
The Electronic Engineering department is hosting a FREE 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.
In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, “Girls into Engineering” aims to give you a taste of being an engineer for 1 day and to give you an inside view of the challenges and opportunities that women face in the engineering world.
The event is mainly dedicated to girls in years 11-13 (parents welcomed) and includes:
- Hands-on lab activities (building circuits to create timing pulses, writing Python code, creating prototype circuits, etc)
