Hi-tech: Su Thomas, of Fuel 3D, uses a 3D scanner to photograph Yasmin Jennings, 15 , at the Oxford High School engineering event
SCHOOLGIRLS got the chance to try their hand at engineering with industry professionals.
Pupils from Oxford High School, in Belbroughton Road, were treated to a visit last Tuesday from more than 15 female engineers to share their experiences.
The women came from a range of Oxfordshire companies, including Thames Water, Siemens, British Gas and Opus Energy.
Pupil Yasmin Jennings had fun with a high-tech 3D scanner.
The 15-year-old said: “I’m drawn to this branch of engineering because it’s a popular new development using fresh new technologies. I want to be an architect, and my favourite subjects are maths and physics.
“I see new technology like this and how it can aid me in my future work.”
