Workshop Description

Celebrate International Women’s Day by joining As Creatives for The Best of British Women in STEM, a drama-based workshop bringing to life the achievements of some of the many (often unsung) British women who have pushed the boundaries of science. From the daughter of a poet who became the mother of computing, to a motorbike mechanic turned aircraft engineer, to a food scientist who went into space, these are all women who fundamentally changed the world - and deserve to be celebrated!
