Volunteer requirements: Aim: To show female students the variety of careers/subjects that use mathematics and, through meeting relatable role models to increase their confidence and encourage them to continue with maths after GCSE.
A morning of workshops, talks, looking at careers and talking to relatable role models. We would love you to take part in the 'Speed Networking' session which will be for around 45 minutes at 12:45 - 1:30pm. Year 9 and 10 female students will be in groups of 3 or 4 and spend between 5 and 10 mins with you finding out about your path to where you are now. After a brief intro from yourself the students will be able to ask you questions before moving on to the next role model. You don't need to prepare anything specifically beforehand but if you want any guidance do not hesitate to ask! We will provide back up questions in case the students 'run dry' or are nervous to begin with. Just be your authentic self.
