About this event

An Hour in the Life of a Woman in STEM

Ever wondered what it would be like to make electricity from the sun, work for NASA or research Astrobiology?

We've got two inspiring women in STEM who want to talk to you about their jobs and how they got them! They discuss their career, show you their workplace and answer any questions you have about their jobs. Who knows, you could be working with them in the future! There will also be a Women in STEM quiz with a chance to win prizes...

Register for a fun, insightful talk with Women in STEM.

Speaker:

Nic Ponsford - The Global Equality Collective

Nic is a mum of 3 and an award-winning digital education specialist.

Nic Ponsford FRSA is the Co-CEO and Founder of ​The Gender Equality Collective​.

She is an educational and technology thought leader, a Harvard author (​TechnoTeaching​), award-winning teacher, ​TES columnist​ and ​EdTech50​ Judge. Nicole is also a frequent contributor to ​The Guardian​, ​Innovate My School​ and ​Teachwire​, as well as a keynote speaker and panelist, most recently at BETT20 and for the RSA.

Nic believes that technology is the great equaliser for our time. She has taught new technologies in the education sector (from Early Years to adults) since the start of the century, working with a range of national and international charities and organisations to support #TechForGood. She was awarded a place on the EdTech50 (2018) as one of the fifty leading pioneers in the UK EdTech sector. She is currently supporting the Dfe ​Edtech Demonstrator Schools and Colleges Programme​ as the SW Regional Lead.

Nic is passionate about diversity and inclusive on and offline - and that this will only happen through collaboration, conversation and immediate action. She believes it’s time to get #SmashingStereotypes; to promote the awesome in everyone - in the media, in education, in workplaces and in homes. Nic is also co-lead for ​LeanInGirlsUK​ and a Steering Group member for ​MITEY​ (Men in the Early Years), and started a Doctorate in 2018 researching the UK’s digital gender gap and bias in education.

Bydd pob un yn siarad am ei yrfa, yn eich tywys o amgylch eu gweithle ac yn ateb unrhyw gwestiynau sydd gennych chi am eu swydd. Pwy a ŵyr, fe allech chi fod yn gweithio gyda nhw yn y dyfodol ...

Mae Nicole hefyd yn cyfrannu'n aml at The Guardian, Innovate My School a Teachwire, yn ogystal â phrif siaradwr a phanelwr, yn fwyaf diweddar yn BETT20 ac ar gyfer yr RSA. Cred Nic mai technoleg yw'r cyfartalir gwych ar gyfer ein hamser. Mae hi wedi dysgu technolegau newydd yn y sector addysg (o'r Blynyddoedd Cynnar i oedolion) ers dechrau'r ganrif, gan weithio gydag ystod o elusennau a sefydliadau cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol i gefnogi #TechForGood. Dyfarnwyd lle iddi ar yr EdTech50 (2018) fel un o'r hanner cant o arloeswyr blaenllaw yn sector EdTech y DU. Ar hyn o bryd mae hi'n cefnogi Rhaglen Ysgolion a Cholegau Arddangoswr Dfe Edtech fel Arweinydd Rhanbarthol De-Orllewin Lloegr.

Mae Nic yn angerddol am amrywiaeth ac yn gynhwysol ar ac oddi ar-lein - ac mai dim ond trwy gydweithredu, sgwrs a gweithredu ar unwaith y bydd hyn yn digwydd. Mae hi'n credu ei bod hi'n bryd cael #SmashingStereotypes; i hyrwyddo'r anhygoel ym mhawb - yn y cyfryngau, mewn addysg, mewn gweithleoedd ac mewn cartrefi. Mae Nic hefyd yn gyd-arweinydd ar gyfer LeanInGirlsUK ac yn aelod o Grŵp Llywio ar gyfer MITEY (Dynion yn y Blynyddoedd Cynnar) a dechreuodd Ddoethuriaeth yn 2018 yn ymchwilio i fwlch a thuedd digidol y DU mewn addysg.
