We are at the INCOSE UK Annual Systems Engineering Conference today and tomorrow! If you're here, come and chat to our Co-chairs Poppy Harrison and Laura Hoang at our exhibition stall, and catch Laura on the panel this afternoon for a conversation on 'Inclusive Systems Engineering' #ASEC2024UK #INCOSEUK #InclusiveSystemsEngineering

Lovely to see this recognition for STEM outreach for one of our sponsors, and one of our volunteers! Congratulations Diana Kenny and RED Engineering Design!

In the UK, Black History Month is celebrated in October. As we close out October, SheCanEngineer want to carry on the conversations around the theme 'Reclaiming Narratives' - and what better way to do that than through our podcast! Listen to the stories from two of our volunteers, talking about their backgrounds from Africa and the Caribbean, and living in the UK. It's an opportunity to learn, appreciate and understand each other, and open up those conversations! You can listen wherever you get your podcasts from - link in the comments!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined our recent webinar in collaboration with Engineering Futures as part of their Sustainability Week! Our panellists Laurie Cusick, Natalie Collcutt, and Radhika Sharma led us through an interesting and inspiring discussion on the intersection of ED&I and sustainable engineering, sharing their personal experiences and insights. The level of engagement and the range of comments really demonstrated how important these conversations are for the future of our industry. A special shout-out to our moderator, Poppy Harrison, for guiding the conversation with such energy and expertise!  Missed the live event? Don’t worry—Engineering Futures have released the full webinar recording here: https://lnkd.in/eS2TV8uB We’re so proud to be driving these essential discussions around diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability. Let's keep the momentum going and continue shaping an engineering industry that values diverse perspectives and works toward a more sustainable future. #SustainabilityInEngineering #DiversityInSTEM #EquityAndInclusion #FutureOfEngineering #SheCanEngineer #SustainableInnovation #EngineeringFutures

Earlier this month SheCanEngineer attended the Forces in STEM event at the The Royal Air Force Museum at RAF Cosford!   We hosted a hands-on workshop on chemical engineering, engaging over 1,500 enthusiastic Year 5 and 6 pupils from local primary schools.   Each group explored the pH of everyday liquids, making predictions, testing, and experimenting. The results sparked exciting conversations about the real-world applications of engineering and how it shapes the world around us!   We're proud to inspire the next generation of engineers. #SheCanEngineer #STEMeducation #DiversityInEngineering #NextGenEngineers Diana Kenny Kierra Grant Lucy Down

Today we are at the WISE Conference! Come and see the wonderful Maira Bana and Radhika Sharma at our stand to see what we are all about, and take part in our poll! #WISEConference2024 #GenderEquity

Today is Dyslexia in Engineering Day. We know that some of our committee members, volunteers and supporters are dyslexic, and we are proud to join Stephen Gill in supporting neuroinclusion in the Engineering industry! During our INWED celebration this year, Jennifer MacDonald and Laura Kershaw both spoke candidly and passionately about their dyslexia, finding ways to change and adapt how they work, and reframing their dyslexia as their superpower. They highlighted how finding neuroinclusive employers that could provide support would further enhance what they could do, and the power of opening up conversations around this has on everyone. So let's open up those conversations on Dyslexia in Engineering Day!

We are at the Engineering Design Show (EDS) today and tomorrow! Come and see us at stand F93 and join us at 13:30 today in the Workshop Theatre, where our amazing team- Maira Bana, Poppy Harrison and Kierra Grant will be holding a session on "Realising Productivity and Innovation through Inclusive Environments"

There’s still time to submit your nominations for The Engineer UK’s Collaborate to Innovate (C2I) Awards! At SheCanEngineer we’re proud to partner with this initiative that celebrates the power of engineering collaboration in solving real-world challenges. Whether you’re breaking barriers in the field or know someone who is, this is your chance to highlight the projects, groups, and individuals you know that are making a difference in the world. There's a huge range of categories - from Energy and Environment, to STEM initiatives, to wild cards! The entry deadline is Friday, 11th October (next week!) so get involved today, and help us showcase the incredible impact of diverse, inclusive teams.
