The first half of 2024 has been a little manic! Not least because SheCanEngineer formally became registered as a charity! Following our Charity launch event in January 2024, we have busy doing exciting things, and planning the future of SheCanEngineer!
Two of our two newest committee members join us to tell us why they decided to join SheCanEngineer, and what they have been up to, as well as what SheCanEngineer has been up to, and have planned!
