Proud to be an Engineer will showcase diverse stories from engineers from a range of backgrounds typically underrepresented in the industry, with a focus on Engineers who identify as LGBTQ+ and Engineers with a disability.
Proud to be an engineer will develop engineers by providing bespoke public engagement training delivered by Queen Mary University of London. Engineers will then create an engaging exhibition display with the support and guidance of experts from within the university.
In the summer of 2024, Engineers will showcase their stories at two community festival events, one for schools and colleges in East London, and the second festival will be open to the local community. Through these two public engagement events, Proud to be an Engineer aims to develop inspiring role models who will change perspectives.
