I was selected to go to Strathclyde University on 26-27 January 2023 for the Engineering the Future for Girls Programme.<\/p>\n

When I arrived at the Uni I was put into group F with Amy, Lucie, Rosie, Lana, Lily, Maria and Abby, we got to be friends.\u00a0 During two days we learned about different areas of engineering:\u00a0 Civil & Environmental, Mechanical & Aerospace, Chemical & Process and Biomedical.<\/p>\n

For each engineering area we were first given a presentation about what it involved and then we did an activity.\u00a0 For civil & environmental engineering we had a build a bridge out of spaghetti and loom bands.\u00a0 All the activities were like that and we had to work as a team.<\/p>\n

For each engineering area we got to meet new people. \u00a0They told us about the job and how they got there \u2013 the college\/university they went to and the subjects they studied.\u00a0 All of them said maths and physics are very important subjects for every engineering areas.<\/p>\n

I learned that if you study at Strathclyde you can do a years work experience to get practical experience eg in biomedical engineering you could go to a hospital or company that makes prosthetic limbs.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed my two days and the people I met.<\/p>\n

If anyone gets the chance to go I would recommend it.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
