On behalf of Evelyn Chuk, President of The Innovators' Tea Party:
We are looking for some engaging
women working in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) fields
to volunteer at our event The Innovators’ Tea Party on Saturday September 3rd in
Perth. This free event aims to inspire high school aged girls to consider a
career in STEM by allowing them to interact with a diverse range of mentors.
The event will be run like
‘speed-dating’ where mentors will have 5 minutes to engage with each student
(or pair of students) before moving on to the next. Mentors are expected to
talk about specific projects they have worked on, what they studied at
university, challenges and successes they have faced in their industry and
their career progression so far. The day will be split into four 1.5 hour
sessions, and volunteering mentors can opt to attend for the morning, the
afternoon or the whole day.
This is a wonderful one-off
volunteering opportunity for any woman in STEM who is interested in giving back
to the community. It is also a good way to network with others working in STEM
industries and meet some of the young women who we will one day be working
with! Coffee, tea and sweet snacks are provided throughout the day.
If you are interested in getting
involved, please find out more at our website
News - SAGE symposium
Readers may be interested to know that on Friday 24th June Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) held a symposium at the National Maritime Museum in Sydney. The speaker list was nothing short of stellar, and it is definitely worth catching up on proceedings via the #SAGEpilot hashtag.
