This An Engineering Adventure with Lottie recorded session for STEMtastic21 is part of a series recorded by Sir Robert McAlpine (SRM) for West Suffolk College’s second virtual Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) event, running from Friday 5 to Sunday 14 March 2021.
The theme is Innovating for the Future and we believe that an essential part of that is inspiring everyone to engage with STEM, regardless of age, ability, or, in this virtual world, geographical location!
This series by Paula McMahon and some of her colleagues at SRM informs all ages groups about how engineering is needed now and even more so in the future. Paula will be available for a live session to close out STEMtastic21; come along to ask her about her work, career routes, what it’s like working as an Engineer or what she did during her adventures with Lottie.
Engineer Paula is also an experienced STEM Ambassador, 2020 National Apprenticeship Service North East Apprenticeship Champion of the Year 2020. And of course the Founding Chair of Engineering Together.
Registration for more events is available on [ Ссылка ].
