Episode 5: A Sense of Engineering
https://www.electricvoicetheatre.co.uk/
Today we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day through the “Echoes from Essex” project in collaboration with Chelmsford Civic Theatre.
We asked 6 engineers from Essex, past and present, to describe their work through the 5 senses. Their responses draw us into an unexpectedly diverse world of women in engineering:-
Florence Attridge (voiced by Emily Peplow from Chelmsford Civic Theatre) and Baroness Platt of Writtle (voiced by electric voice theatre’s Margaret Cameron) whose scripts were crafted with science historian Dr Patricia Fara, Emeritus Fellow of Clare College Cambridge; Kay Silver from Essex & Suffolk Water; Sarah Clay and Ingrida Juraite from BAE Systems and Maryam Imani from Anglia Ruskin University.
Our song for International Women in Engineering Day is I want to be an Engineer and is sung by children from Letham Primary School in Perth.
