The STEMettes organisation aims to encourage the next generation of women to consider careers in the STEM fields and runs panel events, hackathons, exhibitions and mentoring schemes.

In partnership with R/GA London, 20 young women from two different schools will attend R/GA’s Rosebery Avenue offices for a day of presentations and workshops.

Jenny Pigott, director of HR at R/GA London, said: “STEMettes is an amazing organisation which encourages young women to engage with digital and take a long-term interest in technology – we’re really excited about this partnership.

“As a company, we’re committed to pioneering new innovations in technology for our clients, and we hope a partnership like this will only further help ensure that talented young women sustain an interest in technology to become the leaders of tomorrow.”

The event will also include a creative technology brief for students with prizes available for the best ideas.
