I have had the following request through. Please get in touch if you can help
''I am Jess Wade, a PhD student in the department of Physics and Centre for Plastic Electronics at Imperial College London. I am also the founder of the Imperial College Women in Physics group and the physics PG representative.
This year we will be hosting the first Imperial College London - Greenlight4Girls (G4G) event on Saturday 26th September, 09:00 - 16:00- (poster available here - bit.ly/1g9sQtZ). G4G are a (500 +!) volunteer led organisation who run events worldwide to inspire girls about STEM subjects. They have an incredible number of collaborators, who offer super exciting opportunities for girls in a lot of different countries. Working with us for the London event we already have CISCO, P&G and Aston Martin. The London event will be the first time G4G have held an event in the UK, along with their first ever event at a university. There will be around 200 girls aged between 12 - 16 in labs, lecture theaters and seminar rooms trying a whole range of different activities- from deconstructing an Aston Martin engine to career advice in photonics and coding an LED module. The girls will be applying for free places online and teachers will be able to bring up to 10 students from their schools. Over the course of the day, the girls will attend different workshops and discussions. Each workshop will be assigned a room based on the leader’s requirements, and will be attended by between 10-15 students. Each workshop will last around 1 hour and repeat 3 times over the course of the day.
We’ve decided to reach out to the Women’s Network of the IET to see if there are any female academics who’d like to run sessions. The more hands-on, the better! We can arrange spaces in labs, source weird and wonderful pieces of equipment and get you a team of helpful volunteers. If you’d prefer to give a seminar (with or without demos!) on your research, that would be great too! As mentioned above if your experiment/ presentation can repeat x 3 over the day (two pre-lunch, one post) that would be ideal but not essential. Additionally if you don’t want to run your own workshop but are keen to get involved then we’re very welcome to having more ‘hands on deck’. The girls will need help moving around campus and have endless questions about science and engineering. Please get in touch with womensnetwork@theiet.org and I’ll do all I can to engineer your vision into reality wink emoticon''
