Join Daisy Shearer, Outreach and Engagement Officer at the National Quantum Computing Centre, for a masterclass in navigating the world of STEM with neurodiversity. During the session Daisy will talk about their career path in STEM as well as their experience being diagnosed with autism. Daisy will highlight strengths and challenges of neurodiversity and offer useful tips and advice. This workshop is relevant for neurodivergent students and also those who are interested in hearing from a successful STEM professional who is neurodiverse.
