Would you like to be part of our campaign to promote engineering to women?

The IET Women's Network would like to create a slideshow featuring our women Members, holding a card / piece of paper, stating:



What field of engineering you are in;

What you do; (something interesting and enticing - example I write code for... or I work on...)

Why you became an engineer;

The funniest thing that they have been told  / asked about being a female engineer i.e - funny assumptions or reactions that you get when telling people you are in fact, an engineer;

An inspirational message;

Make it as colourful and as fun as you wish - get creative and draw images to accompany your slide;

Smile big :)



Your message can be a combination of all of the above or a selection of one or two.



The aim here is to get people excited about what they do as well as encouraging the next generation.



**NB: A big smile is mandetory!**



Please send your entries (picture of you holding the card / paper) to womensnetwork@theiet.org



Thanks!

Jo.

    Hi Sara,



    Thank you very much for your message and suggestions.!



    If you are referring to the National Engineering & Construction Recruitment show, that takes place in Birmingham then we already have a presence there and have done for the past few years.  I think that the summer show was cancelled this year so, we could not attend but I believe November's show is still going ahead - I am arranging for a speaker to prepare a talk at the event.



    Regarding the Big Bang Fair, we have a presence there too and promote the Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award.



    Best wishes,

    Jo
