Girls Do Engineering

Royal Holloway's Electronic Engineering department is hosting a FREE day-long event aimed at inspiring the next generation of female engineers.

In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, “Girls Do 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)
• An inspirational talk given by Erica Osakwe, Analyst at CMS Cameron Mckenna Nabarro Olswang LLP.  Erica successfully led a campaign to change the law to help thousands of women while studying Electronic Engineering at Royal Holloway.  CMS is a future facing law firm that embraces innovation, legal tech and AI, allowing Erica to pursue her passion for Engineering as well as her interest in the law.
• Chats with some of our recent graduates and current undergraduates
• A tour of the Electronic Engineering Department
• A packed lunch plus refreshments (including vegetarian and vegan options). Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements or allergies.
