** The JCB Academy in Rocester - Opportunity **
Former Community Member
I received the following e-mail and wondered if we could have a volunteer to support this fantastic event!
‘’I am excited to announce that the Girls into Engineering Week is taking place Monday, 16 June to Thursday, 19 June 2014 held at The JCB Academy in Rocester, Staffordshire. The event is now in its fourth year and growing every time!
The support and help of our partners is integral to the success of this event so we’re calling for female engineers from your organisation to help promote engineering to young girls from primary schools from all across Staffordshire and Derbyshire. We’ve invited over 120 primary schools to nominate up to three girls from year 6 (aged 9-10) and also, after great feedback from last year’s event, we’ve also asked them to bring along a female parent/carer too!
The role of the guest female engineer would be to meet and greet the young girls and their mothers, help with the various tasks that we will set the girls and give a short talk each session about their own routes into engineering – giving the girls and their mums some inspiration! I can provide more details to anyone you nominate to help.
Each day has a morning and an afternoon session to which different schools and groups of students will be invited. You will need to arrive at The JCB Academy for:
Morning session : 08:30-12:30
Afternoon session : 12:30-16:30’’
If this is something that you would be interested in, please e-mail me at womensnetwork@theiet.org
