I think the biggest achievement during the duration was preparing her CV and interview skills so that she was ready for an apprenticeship interview. She managed to get onto the next stage, which I am very proud of her for achieving.
This was my first experience and I am looking forward to keeping my current relationship with my mentee and hopefully be a part of the program again. I believe this helped me build a new approach to people and situations I have not been faced with before.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to my mentor, you are an amazing person and I’m so glad I got to know you. Knowing you has given me the importance of self- motivation and I am so thankful to you for every minute of your week that you spent teaching me key skills, encouraging me on my application with medicine and being a valuable resource to me.
‘Thank you so much for organising this programme, I have hugely benefited from the meetings with my mentor, and I have also appreciated all of the support I received from the Stemettes team.’
My mentor gave me confidence, teaching me to achieve both short and long term goals; resilience, belief and passion. It was really nice to be mentored by someone who had gone through the whole university experience/career change and stress of exams. I truly did learn so much from her.
We have been discussing research papers on inclusivity and machine learning, as well as pathways into different domains of computer science.
Just to say a huge thank you for the Stemillions box. Our girls have absolutely loved it and asked if we can run the session every week for the whole year!
Having the resources pre-prepared allows the girls to take real ownership of the sessions, and adds an element of suspense and excitement to each activity. The work is well-pitched and the girls have enjoyed it a lot.
The role models’ expertise was very relevant to our group project. The STEM role models were very kind and made us feel like equals.
My brain has been stretched and I have so many more ideas of what to do when I’m older.
I want to say how wonderful it was talking to such young and aspiring women who hope for a career in STEM based work.
I enjoyed learning about role models, making new friends, taking part in activities, and sharing my work.
I really like the learning part and getting to speak to professionals in the networking sessions!
I enjoyed meeting the STEM role models and meeting new people.
I enjoyed everything! Especially using the tomatoes to make the phases of the moon!
My daughter took part in Outbox connect in the summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. She was initially quite reluctant but I persuaded her to give it a go and she got so much out of it she’s now considering a career in STEM, probably tech/coding – result! I’d just like to say a huge thank you for all you do, especially exposing girls to female role models – so important I feel!
I had so much fun! I learnt all about cool new career paths that I could pursue in the future, and after listening to all the inspiring and influential role models, my horizon of STEM careers expanded exponentially.
I’ve learnt how important women are as part of STEM. I also learnt that women can be powerful in STEM.
I was lucky enough to be part of the original Outbox Incubator cohort… I was very inspired by the Outbox experience and the Stemettes in general.
Partnering with a fantastic organisation like Stemettes gives us the opportunity to show young females, as they start out on their career path, that anything is possible and with a bit of help and confidence they can realise their huge potential.
