\"Wolverhampton<\/p>\n

In recognition of International Women in Engineering Day, Bridgnorth Endowed invited ten Year 9 and 10 girls to attend Wolverhampton University\u2019s \u2018Raising the Bar\u2019 event at its Telford Innovation Campus last month.<\/p>\n

Students participated in a series of workshops, each providing an insight into different types of engineering with a view to inspiring future generations of female talent to enter the profession.<\/p>\n

The day started with the Formula 3 Race Team Tour, during which the girls changed a tyre under timed conditions and got the chance to sit in the car.<\/p>\n

Next was 3D printing, where they discovered the staggering number of products that can now be produced from a wide range of materials.<\/p>\n

Chemical engineering saw the girls getting their \u2018hands messy\u2019 while making environmentally-friendly alternatives to micro-beads and also exploring their use as vectors in administering medicines.<\/p>\n

During the Robotics Challenge, our girls really came out of their shells. The students enjoyed hands-on experience, using Mechatronics to code and then instruct robots to perform certain tasks. Two students even tried to programme their robot to write but unfortunately time ran out.<\/p>\n

For many, the highlight of the day was the Formula 3 Simulator Challenge. It enabled the girls to release their inner demons and show off their determination, accuracy and speed.<\/p>\n

The day was a huge success as several of our students reported that they may now consider future careers in engineering.<\/p>\n
