What if the future of STEM isn't about choosing between creativity and logic but realising they've always belonged together?

In this special episode, host Kelly Shungu brings you our first-ever live Women in STEM Podcast event — recorded in front of a sold-out audience at Somerset House, London. This panel discussion features three remarkable women who've each been guests on the podcast before, but this time, they're in conversation together.

Joining Kelly are Dr. Sabrya Carim (Editor at Nature Cell Biology, Chair of Springer Nature Muslim Employee Network), İlayda Bakare (Founder of Exhibits, self-taught coder), and Emily Wood (Software Engineering Leader, Code First Girls advocate). Together, they explore creativity, innovation, and unconventional paths in the STEM field.

We dive into:

✨ When creativity becomes essential to solving problems in STEM and why it's not separate from logic

Whether you're considering a STEM career, navigating an unconventional path, or believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation forward, this conversation will remind you that your unique journey is your greatest asset.

This event featured one keynote speaker, a panel discussion, seven hands-on workshops, and was sponsored by Engineering Tomorrow and Girl Dreamer. We have so much more planned for this year!
