Shockingly, only 3% of UK statues represent non-royal women and there are no statues celebrating modern engineers.... until today. 🚀 For #NationalEngineeringDay 2024, we’re shining a spotlight on engineers who are contributing positively to our world and confidently inspiring future generations of engineers. Today, we have unveiled a striking new statue of engineer Alice Kan, in central London – not encased in traditional bronze or marble but in a modern and vibrant style. The statue has been designed by artist Kelly Anna, alongside a new digital artwork entitled #EngineeringRoleModels. The digital artwork features Alice, alongside four inspiring engineers: Navjot Sawhney, Meg Ginsberg, Dr. Shini Somara // BEng(Hons) EngD HonFIED, and Laura Hoang —who each bring unique contributions and diverse backgrounds. The initiative comes at a pivotal moment for the engineering profession. With women still making up only 15.7% of the UK engineering workforce, down from 16.5% in 2023, the lack of visible role models is a key factor in why fewer women are considering a career in engineering. Alice said: “Being honoured in statue form is a very unique experience and not something many people can say. I really hope my statue encourages people to understand more about engineering, what engineers do and why it is a great career for anyone who's got a curiosity for wanting to make things work better.” Who are your engineering role models? Let us know by using #EngineeringRoleModels and #NationalEngineeringDay. Find out more and explore the artwork here: https://lnkd.in/eDnXZ3CT
