Ipsen: International Women in Engineering Day Film
22 June 2018
This event is open to the public.
Location: Online
In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day, myself and members of the Ipsen (Wrexham) STEM ambassador team have decided to put together a video of short interviews with women working in engineering roles across Ipsen (globally) about why they love engineering, how they got into it and their achievements etc. As International Women in Engineering Day is on a Saturday, we plan to release the video on Friday 22nd June on Ipsen’s internal network and publicly on our social channels. Our ambition is also to present this video to local schools by sending it out to our contacts to show in class and perhaps also provide a careers talk from our STEM ambassadors on the day. Our first challenge was to identify Ipsen’s female engineers, of which there are currently not many across the global business(!), and now our challenge is to encourage their participation in the video – I’ve got my fingers crossed that we have some enthusiastic women out there who want to be involved. Hopefully, we can help to inspire the next generation of female engineers!

London Borough of Waltham Forest: Kalamazoo Gals & Walthamstow Assembly Hall
23 June 2018 (Audio release of talk that took place on 12 May)
This event is open to the public
Location: Online
On INWED, the recording of author John Thomas' talk about his amazing book The Kalamazoo Gals - about how women built a very special Gibson Guitar during the war years will be released. The recording will be available here.
Walthamstow Assembly Hall was also complete during the War in 1943 and went on to host operas and ballets etc. during the bombing raids of London “bombs were falling all around but the music was divine”. We believe the Hall was also built by women.
The fact it was built at all at that time is remarkable and unique, that it was probably built by women even more amazing. We have been collecting oral histories that so far support the theory, but we are currently reaching out to ask the question and ask people who may know to come forward.

Ipsen: International Women in Engineering Day Film
22 June 2018
This event is open to the public.
Location: Online
In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day, myself and members of the Ipsen (Wrexham) STEM ambassador team have decided to put together a video of short interviews with women working in engineering roles across Ipsen (globally) about why they love engineering, how they got into it and their achievements etc. As International Women in Engineering Day is on a Saturday, we plan to release the video on Friday 22nd June on Ipsen’s internal network and publicly on our social channels. Our ambition is also to present this video to local schools by sending it out to our contacts to show in class and perhaps also provide a careers talk from our STEM ambassadors on the day. Our first challenge was to identify Ipsen’s female engineers, of which there are currently not many across the global business(!), and now our challenge is to encourage their participation in the video – I’ve got my fingers crossed that we have some enthusiastic women out there who want to be involved. Hopefully, we can help to inspire the next generation of female engineers!
