Students designing an aid for arthritis sufferers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of Lichfield\u2019s Soroptimists in her capacity as STEM Ambassador assisted with a workshop at the National Women in Engineering Day held on Monday 23 June 2014 at Staffordshire University, Stoke Campus.<\/p>\n

Girls from local schools attended a one day seminar where they were divided into three groups and learnt diverse skills from communicating over a distance, transmitting energy to a ping pong ball and designing for the third age.<\/p>\n

Our club member, Bev Billings, was involved with the latter workshop where girls designed an aid to assist people suffering with arthritis to turn a key in a lock.\u00a0 Students designed a prototype in plasticine before melting polymorph granules in a water bath and moulding their ideas in plastic.\u00a0 The photograph shows a selection of their designs. Women represent only 7% of the total UK Engineering workforce and events like this and our Skirting Science & Technology Days aim to increase interest and eventually the number of women working in this field.<\/p>\n
