Women in Engineering and Computing

Girls from year 12 were taken to the “Women in Engineering and Computing” conference at Coventry University on Wednesday 5th March.

Handsworth Grammar School was the only School in the West Midlands to be invited to this prestigious event, which is aimed primarily at under graduate students.

The girls heard presentations from successful women who work for IBM, TATA, EON, and Rolls Royce.

They were also able to sit in a full size Harrier Jump Jet, which is located in the workshop of Coventry University.
