On Tuesday 27 October at 12:00 we are hosting an event about Black Women in STEM. This event is part of Black History Month and will feature a talk from exceptional Black women and students in STEM aka Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It will also address young Black women in academia, who want to pursue a career in the field.
Black women in the UK are among the most underrepresented groups in STEM, but according to research, they are more likely to feel like they belong in the field if they have access to black female role models.
There has been various initiatives set up to encourage Black women to get into this area, such as STEM Learning which is the largest provider of education and careers support. They are dedicated to raising young people’s engagement and achievement in STEM subjects and careers.
