The four-month training supports women in STEM to excel at public engagement, change outdated perceptions and leave a legacy by delivering engaging online Stemazing Kids sessions to inspire the next generation. The programme will culminate in them running their own 6-week online StemazingKidsclub to inspire seven to nine year olds.

Registration is now open for both women applicants and schools with the deadline for women being 10 September and 30 September for schools. Successful applicants will start on 1 October, with the live school STEM sessions being delivered in January and February 2022. Thanks to the support of the sponsors, the training will be free of charge.

Steve Gill, WRD Secretariat, said: “We are delighted to be supporting this programme yet again. The pilot programme earlier this year was such a huge success, exceeding all expectations with 45 women, of which the majority where from the RACHP sector delivery STEM sessions to more than 1,600 primary school children. The feed-back from everyone involved and the schools has been fantastic.”

addition to this ‘open’ programme, WRD has announced that it will be partnering with Stemazing to deliver an international programme exclusive to women from RACHP sector from around the world. Interest in participating in this programme is already arriving from Australia, Indian, Africa and the USA, in addition to the UK and Europe.

“In addition to the wonderful training being offered, it will be a great opportunity for women from our sector to network and share experiences” added Mr Gill.
