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! Institute of Refrigeration: Women in RACHP Career Development Event 22 June 2018 This event is open to the public.

The event will be focusing on the importance for women to involve themselves in STEM to impact their community. We hope to inspire them through the talks with role models in engineering and technology. On Sunday 24 June there will be some workshops in engineering and technology to inspire and promote STEM. Wentech is an association created in 2016 that promotes women in STEM through workshops and conferences to encourage young girls in STEM and promote women in engineering and technology. The situation of women engineers is still very weak in Cameroon - less than 6 per cent, so through Wentech and in association with INWED we hope to empower girls into STEM.

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.

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.
