Dr Anita Shaw
STEMpowered Learning Director
Caerphilly, Wales
I am passionate about engaging young people, particularly girls, in STEM. I currently sit on the Welsh Government’s Women in STEM board and chair its Education subgroup.
I run the Welsh Valleys Engineering Project for the Royal Academy of Engineering, am a Gender Balance Coach for the Institute of Physics and a trustee at Chwarae Teg, the charity inspiring, leading and delivering gender equality in Wales.
I am excited about the career opportunities in STEM for young people and I believe that, alongside parents, primary school teachers have a central role in nurturing children’s natural curiosity.
