It features a flagship \u2018science cabaret\u2019 event in London at which women in STEM give short talks about their work or about other women who have inspired them, perform short comedy or musical interludes with a STEM focus.<\/p>\n<p>This year the stellar line-up of women includes Prof Sunetra Gupta, epidemiologist; Chanuki Seresinhe, computer scientist; Dr Susie Maidment, palaeontologist; Dr Hilary Costello, engineer; Prof Emma McCoy, mathematician; Dr Diva Amon, marine scientist; Natasha Simons, science demo builder.<\/p>\n<p>Suw Charman-Anderson, founder of Ada Lovelace Day, commented: \u201cWe are honoured that The IET is launching this exhibition of women in engineering on the tenth Ada Lovelace Day. Engineering is an increasingly important discipline, tackling socially important challenges that affect millions of lives around the world. It is essential that we inspire more girls and women to pursue engineering careers so that we can benefit from their talents, acumen and unique perspectives. This exhibition will inspire school children and adults alike, and we encourage all of our Ada Lovelace Day Live! Attendees to come early so that they can enjoy learning about women in engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jo Foster, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at the IET, said: \u201cAda Lovelace Day Live! is an important event not only to celebrate women in STEM but to understand how far we have come in breaking down gender stereotypes. It is great to see more powerful woman role models in the industry and the exhibitions showcase just that!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really hoping guests will love travelling back through time to see women in engineering on the move and trailblazers of the past in the Watson-Watt room exhibit and what amazing work is being achieved by women in Engineering today in Mountbatten Exhibition room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Delegates will have the opportunity to see the new exhibitions in action and attend the Ada Lovelace Day Live! for an evening of entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Ada Lovelace Day Live! is a ticketed only event, taking place on Tuesday 9 October, tickets can be purchased <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/ada-lovelace-day-live-2018-tickets-48807977976\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibitions are open subject to availability.
