Hey everyone, we hope you’re all doing well and surviving the crazy state the world is in right now. Although we have had to make a few readjustments, this has not deterred us from working towards our societies goals, which we are very excited to bring to life in the upcoming months!
Our professional events will consist mostly of networking opportunities. We plan to invite women in STEM, including our lecturers, to come and give talks on the industry and also organise workshops and opportunities where female students could try their hand at coding. One example of this, if we manage to get it operating, would be a hackathon for STEM girls.
There will of course be many social events as well so that our members can get to know each other better. So far we've planned running game nights, parties, secret Santa and other exciting events. Stay tuned for our drop-in get-to-know sessions, which we plan on hosting online quite soon! We can't wait to get to meet our members. We have also been working hard on our sisSTEM programme, which will be coming soon - would you guess what it might be?
Our broader goals are to create and promote opportunities, offer support and create an accepting and empowering environment for women in STEM. The entire committee is thrilled to run all these events and can’t wait to get the ball rolling, however this will be impossible without members, so stay tuned for our joining applications, and make sure to join our discord !
