“Facing the Future” public engagement project aims to bring together girls, young women, and female engineers to challenge stereotypes, address misconceptions and inspire more diversity in the future STEM talent pipeline in the North East.
With opportunities for the public to engage with female engineers in a variety of sectors, this project will build on the established work of The Common Room’s “Face of Engineering” project, and lead into future endeavours. By placing engineers at the heart of each stage of our process we will give them opportunities to learn more about how a successful programme of public engagement operates, provide them with activities to utilise post project through a ‘Facing The Future’ tool kit and have the chance to hone their communication skills with members of the public.
