Tech We Can: Inspiring Students with STEM Careers
Su, Head of Engineering for The Hut Group, delivered an engaging engineering workshop for our Coding elective.
Tech We Can is a charity with a mission to attract more young people, particularly girls, into technology roles. As technology advances at an extraordinary rate and its role in our lives continues to grow, it is vital to educate and excite young people about technology and the people who develop it from an early age.
Tech We Can's educational resources focus on showcasing women role models working in technology, aiming to tackle stereotypes before they set in. However, these resources are suitable for all young people and emphasise the importance of inclusivity.
Instead of teaching digital skills directly, Tech We Can focusses on young people's passions, demonstrating how their favourite subjects and hobbies such as sports, food, art, films, and toys can lead to future careers in technology.
During Su's session, she highlighted the vast array of tech careers available and shared her impressive experience in the industry, inspiring our students to explore the exciting opportunities within STEM fields.
"The session left a real impact on the students, who thoroughly enjoyed it. Su's presentation was engaging and the career information proved highly beneficial to the students"
"We are so grateful to have had Su deliver Tech We Can. Her expertise in the industry, particularly as a representative for women in STEM, was invaluable and Su is a real inspiration to our students"
