One of the key barriers to increasing diversity and inclusion in engineering is the lack of counter-typical role models to influence and inspire young people. Having a role model can influence one’s action and motivate people to strive to uncover their true potentials and overcome weaknesses.

We are delighted to have Alexandra Knight from Stemazingltd and Dr Jan Peters MBE to get together and discuss the importance of having a role model and going from “Imposter to Superhero” in STEM.


This short talk will highlight the importance of tackling gender stereotypes young and explain what Stemazingltd is doing to ignite inspiration and amplify inclusion in STEM and how you can get involved.
