Event Background:
This event is possible thanks to funding from the Royal Academy of Engineering, and is part of an initiative to work with a cohort of women engineers to develop their confidence and public engagement skills through a project called Watts in A Home; Electric Dreams. One hundred years ago, in 1924, an off-shoot of the Women’s Engineering Society, set up the Electrical Association for Women (EAW), whose purpose was to educate women’s understanding the use of electricity as a domestic energy source. They were hugely effective. This year, WES has been celebrating their formation and highlighting the women engineers involved with the EAW, through a festival called Electric Dreams.
