Member Event: Norfolk Higher Aspirations Scheme

Calling all brilliant women currently working in STEMM  – we need you to inspire the next generation!

The Norfolk Higher Aspirations Scheme provides activities and events aimed at  inspiring Norfolk sixth formers to aim high and reach their potential. So far we’ve run events based around: Veterinary Science, Medicine, Law, Social Work, Civil and Mechanical Engineering and Computing, Chemical and Biological Engineering and Teaching.

We are keen to repeat, and to add to these events this academic year and our first big focus will be on Women in STEMM – an event focusing on inspiring young women to aspire to careers in these fields by allowing them to meet and talk to amazing women.

The evening will combine people from the industry – as many different branches as possible – and University Departments or Apprenticeship representatives. After a quick welcome and introduction, the students to go to pre-selected ‘breakout groups’ where they can meet, hear from and ask questions of, women currently successfully working in these fields.

We are hoping to gather a brilliant group of women representing the following areas for breakout discussion groups:

Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Consultancy, Engineering – Energy production and supply, Civil Engineering , Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering and Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science

Please do get in touch if you feel you or a member of your team could take part in this event – it won’t take more than an hour of your time, it will take place on-line via Teams and it could make the difference and inspire a young female scientist of the future!

Thank you for taking the time to consider this invitation!
