The Rosalind Franklin STEM Ambassadors is Professor Essi Viding’sÌýto raise the profile of women in (STEM). Twenty-one year 11 girls with promising futures from backgrounds currently underrepresented in STEM careers attended a two-day workshop atÌý×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ (×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳)Ìýin September 2018. Digital content created during the workshop forms the basis of this webÌýresource.Ìý
According to research published byÌýthe Institute for Fiscal Studies (), many girls start to lose interest in STEM subjects at A-levels. This is in part because of low confidence in their abilities and aÌýconcern about being in the minority of a male-dominated area.Ìý
We hope by sharing our successful workshop content, we will be able to inspire more girls to choose STEM subjects for A-levels. Students can watch video stories told by relatable female role models, view materials on how to build confidence, and learn tips on key communication skills. Although the Teacher Toolkit lesson plans are designed especially for female GCSE-aged students, the resources are available to all learners, completely free of charge.
