On October 8, Konica Minolta welcomed the next generation of technology specialists to its Girls in Tech event to mark Ada Lovelace Day.
Held on the second Tuesday of each month, the day is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). Year 8 students from local schools attended the event held at the company’s Client Engagement Centre (CEC) in Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire.
As part of the TechGirls community, Konica Minolta has delivered workshops to girls across the UK and this event aimed to support students who are about to decide their GCSE Options and encourage them to think about career paths towards STEM sectors.
Gillian Nuttall, people and culture ESG partner at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK), said: “The tech industry continues to face challenges with female representation, and this event is one way we can address this by showcasing the vibrant and dynamic opportunities within the sector.”
