Additive manufacturing (AM) company Renishaw took part in a workshop to celebrate International Women’s Day.
Emma Robertson, industrial design engineer at the company, took part in a workshop entitled Inspiring Women: the legacy of the First World War.
Attendees learnt about the important contributions that women have made over the past 100 years and the event included a panel discussion featuring inspiring women working in a range of sectors. Robertson was nominated as an inspiring woman from the industry and STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) category for her experience as an engineer and as a STEM ambassador at Renishaw.
‘It's really important to share my story as a female engineer to provide a positive role model,’ said Robertson. ‘It is vital that young people speak to someone in the industry who can show them the opportunities available, whatever their background.’
