To celebrate International Women\u2019s Day 2016, SI Woking & District helped Woking Borough Council to organise an Open Meeting intended to encourage girls and young women to take up science, technology, engineering and mathematics-based careers. \u00a0Woking Borough Council also held an essay-writing competition for schoolgirls and the winners were announced during the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"STEM<\/a><\/p>\n

Three speakers made presentations followed by a discussion. The first speaker was Anita Wu, a chartered engineer who specialises in tunnel technology and is currently working on the Bond Street Upgrade Project. \u00a0She was followed by Judith Bunting, a chemist and television programme producer, and then by Dr Angelika Lingnau, a neuroscientist from Royal Holloway University of London. All three speakers were lively and entertaining and fielded a wide variety of questions, particularly from the girls in the room.<\/p>\n

Over one hundred people attended this open meeting, including a large number of school students. The feedback has been very positive.<\/p>\n

Said by schoolgirls during the meeting:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m a girl and I can do science too!”<\/p>\n

“STEM subjects can unlock many doors for me”<\/p>\n

“If there\u2019s anything girls can do, it\u2019s science.”<\/p>\n
