What a momentous day Tuesday was: Women in Tech Week, World Space Week AND Ada Lovelace Day!!
And what a fabulous event we held as part of the Women in Tech Week series by We Are Tech Women. Thank you to everyone who braved the weather to join our 'Pivoting into Space: Tech women in the Space industry and how to get there!’ panel in person, and also to those who joined via our Google Meet link.
Huge thanks also go to the wonderful panel who so kindly agreed to join us:
Marie Campana, Airbus
Dr Chekfoung Tan, UCL Centre for Systems Engineering
Victoria Christmas, Orange Tree Partnership
Ross Crosby, InnoForge Recruitment
This combination produced a fascinating conversation, ranging from how huge the opportunities are in this newly expanding sector, to how individual connections and reaching out for help and support can really make the difference to helping enthusiasts secure a role in this area.
The bottom line - these are normal people, doing amazing things, and if you've always dreamed of joining the space industry, what's stopping you? Apply!
Final thanks goes to Hana Abdi and 01 Founders, who kindly hosted our event, and Andie Johnson and Sii Services, who generously bought the drinks afterwards!
