Congratulations to Georgina who was awarded Undergraduate Female Engineer of the Year 2021 in May 2021.

Georgina is currently studying Product Design Engineering at Loughborough University. She is part of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) at Loughborough, who hold annual awards to celebrate female Engineers at the University and can demonstrate potential to become future leaders in the sector.

Georgina had to apply to be considered for the awards, and along with a written supporting case and CV, had to create a short video to showcase ‘Engineering at Home’. The video features Georgina demonstrating how to build a spaghetti and marshmallow tower, aimed at young children to introduce them to engineering principals and help inspire the engineers of the future!
