More women in science, technology and engineering than ever before
But we have a long way to go…
Time for a fresh approach
Girls do a quiz to find out their personality type We show them a variety of roles matching their type They meet young women just like them who are happy and
successful working in science, technology or engineering
Traditional recruitment campaign
