I have looked at where we can add role models to our existing SOW. We have a black history day this year and I plan to ensure scientists are included in this.

The anti racist rather than non racist terminology is interesting and highlights the need for this especially in schools where we are able to influence and role model for our students.

We currently have Mary Anning, Katherine Johnson, Mae Jemmison, Marie Curie and Jane Goodall that are in our SOW and taught through STEAM week activities. But admittedly more men are mentioned. I plan to add more women to our SOW.

We have female engineers visiting school and a female contact from the AMRC. We also have female role models within school in the STEAM subjects .
