During the Coronavirus lockdown, we’ve been reminiscing about our Stemettes Future Summit. Our summits took place in both Chester and London in July 2019, and we hosted 200 attendees.
On 13th July we hosted our second summit in London. We invited 150 girls and split them into under 8s, 8-12 and 13-18-year-old groups.
