Podcasts about Stemettes

This week, Anne-Marie Imafidon is Leahs guest on The Longest Day. She is a keynote speaker, presenter, and co-founder of Stemettes, the enterprise inspiring the next generation of women into STEM roles.As a leader, Anne-Marie is all things to all people: she will never ask someone to do something she wouldnt or couldnt do herself. One of the advantages of this approach is that trust, authenticity, and inspiration empower her colleagues to step up in their roles. Another is that it gives her, as a leader, gravitas because of the value she brings to the different spaces shes in.Anne-Marie consciously does not have yes people around her, finding that her closest allies are her most critical ones. The reason for this is that she knows shes human and not perfect. So having critical friends and reading the negative comments as well as the positive ones give her perspective.She reflects on how everyone has a sphere of influence. But she asks questions about what that means, what power looks like, the nature of the system and how it works, and what are the levers needed to bring change. As a leader she builds, measures, and learns. As a role model, she exercises her agency in the room and leaves things better than she found them.

In this episode, Teresa Senyah is joined by Callie Winch and Julia Piekarczyk from Stemettes. They discuss their current advocacy work at Stemettes and their new STEAM seasons framework.

Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon, CEO and co-founder of the Stemettes, discusses the power of role models for women in tech, how AI for good shouldn't just focus on boosting productivity, and why a fixation on ‘wokeism' is a roadblock to the government's science and tech superpower goals.   Imafidon is a British-Nigerian social entrepreneur and computer scientist. She founded Stemettes, a social enterprise promoting women in STEM, in 2013. Imafidon launched the Stemettes after becoming aware of the lack of diversity in degrees like science and maths. The University of Oxford alumna says that while there has been progress in improving diversity in tech, the root cause is yet to be addressed. Elsewhere on the show, Imafidon recalls the backlash she received as a Black woman appearing on Countdown, and why more work is needed on skills to hit the government's tech superpower goals. Imafidon has previously served as a trustee for the Future of Work and held a board role for the government's Department for Digital up until 2022. She was awarded an MBE for services to young women and the STEM sector in 2017. 

Routes into STEM – Could apprenticeships solve the tech talent crunch?There's an acute shortage of candidates for tech jobs – in fact, research suggests tens of millions of potential roles are going unfilled. In a poll with global technology chiefs conducted by MIT's ‘Technology Review', a majority found that they weren't getting enough candidates for roles, and those who did apply lacked necessary skills. Clearly, there's a problem here. So what can tech companies do to bring more talent through the door? Could building a baseline of investment in new, or even unqualified, talent be a solution?Maninder Randhawa believes so. He's the Early Careers Leader for Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the UKIMEA region, and spends his time building programmes to upskill the organizations new talent. He believes that, whilst there's absolutely a place for old hands, the fresh ideas and ability to adapt and mould that new talent brings makes them more than worth the investment.A case in point is Stu Franks of Alces flight, an HPC services provider. He began at the firm at age 18 as a school leaver, and now heads a team building and marketing services and solutions. He believes apprenticeships, like his own, offer a route to great talent that's not suited to academia but has all the practical talent and intelligence needed to excel in the field, and values demonstrable skills, personality and attitude above degrees and certificates.In order to attract young people into the STEM fields, though, they need to know about it. That's where outreach groups like Stemettes come in. They are a UK-based organization dedicated to reaching out to underrepresented groups in schools across the country, with programs to engage young people in STEM careers as an option, and provide mentoring and support for them to take their first steps. Floriane Fidegnon got into tech through the work of the group and now sits on the board, something her employer encourages as it creates a virtuous cycle of bringing in new talent, and encouraging existing talent like Floriane to become engaged ambassadors for the field.But what about the kind of soft skills that come with a degree – just not one in STEM topics? Erin Young is a case in point. She's a lead researcher for the Alan Turing Institute, which is dedicated to solving societal problems with technology. She came into the field from a background in classics, where her skills in research, reasoning and analytics, combined with a love of data analytics, made a move into tech a great – if seemingly disconnected – jump. Sources cited in this episode:85 million unfilled tech roles by 2030: https://www.kornferry.com/insights/this-week-in-leadership/talent-crunch-future-of-workMIT Technology Review poll with tech leaders on talent shortages: https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/09/21/1079695/new-approaches-to-the-tech-talent-shortage/STEM apprenticeships in the UK increased by over a quarter in the last decade: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships-and-traineeshipsThe National Science Foundation report on the STEM workforce between 2011 and 2021: https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf23315/report/the-stem-workforce#:~:text=The%20size%20of%20the%20STEM,2011%20to%2024%25%20in%202021UK government report into diversity and inclusion in STEM: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/34531/documents/190060/default/ 

Welcome back to TrackPoint Talks—your single source for the latest tech trends affecting the education industry.On today's episode, Lenovo's Casey Sutton talks with Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon, an international Author, Speaker, Presenter, and Co-founder of Stemettes—an award-winning social initiative dedicated to inspiring and promoting the next generation of young women in STEM. The topics explored include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies in the education industry, and their undeniable potential to change the future of learning.Press play now for the full story.

Anne-Marie Imafidon passed her computing A-Level at the age of 11 and by 16, was accepted to the University of Oxford to study Maths and Computer Science. She's used to the 'child prodigy' label that's followed her throughout her career, but that doesn't mean she's had an easy ride. It was a combination of personal experience and the discovery that the number of women working in the STEM sectors - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - was in free-fall that inspired Anne-Marie to found Stemettes: a not-for-profit social enterprise introducing girls to STEM ideas and careers in fun and accessible ways. It's now in its tenth year and still growing, while Anne-Marie has received an MBE, enjoyed a successful stint as the numbers guru on the TV series Countdown, and is the current President of the British Science Association. In conversation in front of an audience at the UK's 2023 Cheltenham Science Festival, she tells Jim Al-Khalili about her quest for equality and diversity across the scientific community - and explains why she thinks everyone has the potential to be a 'child prodigy', given the right opportunity...

Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE is the co-founder of Stemettes, an award-winning social initiative focused on getting girls, young women and non-binary people excited about, and encouraged into STEM fields through mentoring, qualification academies and STEM clubs.But let's go back a bit. Because to understand why Anne-Marie chose this path, you need to understand her life story. At age just 10 years-old, Anne-Marie got her GCSE's in Maths and Computing –these are exams that are normally taken at age 16 here in the UK. By age 11, she had done her A levels (which are usually taken at 18) and by age 13, she had won a scholarship to study at John Hopkins University.At just 20 years of age, Anne-Marie had graduated from Oxford University with a Masters in Mathematics and Computer Science.Anne-Marie is also an author She's In Ctrl: How Women Can Take Back Tech, she's a seasoned speaker, a podcast host, a Trustee Of the Institute for the Future of Work, a TV presenter (Countdown), and Anne-Marie works with media companies like BBC and 20th Century Fox to ensure that we see more diverse tech role models on screen.She was also awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 2017 for her work with young women and the STEM sector.Enjoy!----------------Dr Anne-Marie on Twitter /  Instagram /  Stemettes / She's In Ctrl  bookDanielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham and  Instagram @daniellenewnham   / Newsletter ----------------Photo credit: Sam & Simon PhotographyMentioned in this episode:Hedy Lamarr Documentary  Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr StoryGladys WestHidden Figures Book by Margot Lee Shetterly

In this episode of the McKinsey Global Institute's Forward Thinking podcast, Janet Bush talks with British mathematician and technologist Anne‑Marie Imafidon, co-founder of Stemettes, a social initiative dedicated to inspiring and promoting the next generation of young women in STEM sectors. Imafidon invokes the “herstory” of stellar female technologists, such as Gladys West, who contributed to the development of GPS; Hedy Lamarr, whose work on frequency-hopping spectrum technology enabled Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; and Stephanie Kwolek, who created the first ultra-strong synthetic fibers, Kevlar being the best-known. In a rallying call for inclusion in a technologically driven world, Imafidon talks about persistent bias in data collection and algorithms that are making very big decisions that affect large parts of people's lives. The stakes are very, very high, and we need to get this right, she states. This conversation was recorded in February 2022.

In this 40 Minute Mentor episode, we're joined by a real-life child prodigy, Co-Founder and CEO of Stemettes, and Host of the Evening Standard's Women Tech Charge podcast, Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE. Anne-Marie was one of the youngest to pass two GCEs in two different subjects while in primary school and completed her master's degree from the University of Oxford by the age of 20. Since those days, she's been knocking down walls and inspiring the next generation of women in STEM, through her work with Stemettes – a social enterprise promoting women in STEM careers. And if you haven't heard of Stemettes or listened to the Women Tech Charge podcast, you might have seen Anne-Marie on Channel 4's Countdown ‘Black To Front' initiative earlier this year, where she filled in for no other than the queen of numbers, Rachel Riley. Anne-Marie speaks with such humility and honesty – we could have talked for hours. In today's episode, you'll learn more about: -How Stemettes has developed from a side-hustle to the success it is today, opening doors to careers in STEM for girls all over the UK -What businesses in the Tech sector need to do to attract and retain more diverse talent -And how listening to understand, rather than to answer questions is an often neglected skill by leaders. Whether you work in Tech or are simply looking for some mid-week inspiration, we know you'll learn so much from Anne-Marie in this episode. And a special thank you to our sponsors for this Series - Chipper Cash. The team have been on an incredible journey, having launched their borderless way to send money across Africa and beyond, in 8 countries so far and are widely considered to be Africa's most valuable Startup.

After some time away, I am back with a topic which is amongst the top questions I have received during my start up journey. How do you build a dream team? I couldn't be more excited to introduce you to my next guest Dr Anne Marie Imafidon MBE (YES - DR!). Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE is a British computing, mathematics and language child prodigy. She is one of the youngest to pass two GCSEs in two different subjects while in primary school. Imafidon founded and became CEO of Stemettes in 2013, a social enterprise promoting women in STEM careers. We discuss all things required from a team perspective to grow businesses from scrappy start up's to well established SME's. This was a conversation I myself needed reminding of, so I hope you find it as useful as I did.

In Episode 84, Dr. Anne Marie Imafidon, the founder and CEO of social enterprise Stemettes and keynote speaker at DevOps World 2020, discusses her journey from child prodigy to tech leader advocating for young women in tech.

Sarah Brown talks to guests at Theirworld’s sixth International Women’s Day event, where women from all walks of life, with a few men dotted around, gathered to talk and share their experiences, contacts and ideas on how to unlock big change for girls and young women. We hear Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Nigerian finance minister and World Bank managing director, nearly moved to tears as she accepted our first Unlock Big Change award. We hear from other inspiring women, including Jo Brand, self-proclaimed ‘comic, writer, mother and super-model’; Amrit Kaur Lohia, musician and Theirworld Global Youth Ambassador; Sophie Walker, chief executive of the Young Women’s Trust; Yvette Cooper MP, chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee; Leena Nair, Chief HR Officer at Unilever; Rosemary Leith Berners-Lee, co-founder of the Web Foundation; Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon, mathematician and co-founder of the Stemettes, and not forgetting, of course, Theirworld’s very own Jamira Burley, who hosted the event.

Our two side-hustling guests David and Hannah met 18 months ago - David is the co-founder of Foundervine, a social enterprise that aims to help underestimated and underserved entrepreneurs to build and scale their businesses, such as the BAME community and women in tech. It was at one of Foundervine’s events that Hannah met the team and also her co-founder. Leveraging her expertise in coding and software engineering, Hannah joined forces with an experienced businesswoman to launch vrcalm, an uplifting virtual reality experience that aims to improve the quality of life of people with dementia. They’ve both enjoyed success with their ventures whilst working full-time as a management consultant and software developer respectively - both demanding careers - so how have they made it work? We hear about Hannah’s busiest month ever surviving on very little sleep (not recommended!) and how David found strength and motivation in his belief in Foundervine’s product. We also discuss other obstacles in the business world like gender, ethnicity, and broader inequality of opportunity, which could all impact someone’s success in getting an idea off the ground with an existential fear of failure, and in practical terms with limited time and other commitments. I learned so much from David and Hannah - turns out there are very many hours in the day to take advantage of, and I’m definitely guilty of spending a few too many of those parked in front of either the telly or the bar - and was inspired by their commitment to positively impacting the world around them.

On the podcast, I talk to Jacquelyn Guderley. Jacquelyn is a social entrepreneur, advocate for gender equality and mental health. Jacquelyn is someone who I have admired for a long time and who I was lucky enough to coach. In 2013 she co-founded Stemettes, an award-winning social enterprise that inspires girls aged 5-22 to pursue careers in Science, Tech, Engineering & Maths (STEM) by running high impact, fun, tech-filled events. To date, Stemettes have worked with almost 40k girls around the globe.In 2016 she stood as a political candidate for the Women's Equality Party for the General London Assembly, believing that the current political climate wasn't taking the systemic disadvantages that women face in society seriously enough.In 2017 she launched "Salomé", a literary magazine for emerging female writers, to address the gender imbalance in publishing and to give amateur female writers the platform, confidence and experience to get their writing published.She is also someone who has episodic depression and has been depressed five times in six years and in these periods finds her self withdrawing from the world only to awaken again with a renewed passion for life. Her recent endeavours have been to launch MNTL HLTH to help break the silence on mental health creating events and activities to raise awareness in the mental health space.

Sarah Brown talks to Kathy Lette, Leslie Caron, Emma Barnett, Gemma Cairney, June Sarpong, DJ Cuppy, Manal Abazeed of the White Helmets and a host of successful and fascinating women eager to rewrite the code for all girls and women at an event held on 7th March 2017 ahead of International Women’s Day. Join in by listening to this episode of Better Angels, be inspired by their actions and find out how to join in the challenge of #RewritingTheCode for gender equality. This episode looks at those embedded values that are with a girl even before she is born, all the values that surround who she is, what she gets to believe she can be, what the opportunities are that come her way, the doors that are open for her, the support that she gets. While strides have been made in equal opportunities for girls and women, there’s an unwritten code that holds still many girls back at an early age pretty much everywhere in the world. The advent of new technology, changes to the workplace and global political climate, instead of helping, could turn back the clock on progress. This is the episode that sets out to reverse this! Featured in this unique episode is award winning actress and dancer, Leslie Caron, journalist and broadcaster, Emma Barnett, television presenter, June Sarpong, bestselling author, Kathy Lette, radio presenter and former fashion stylist, Gemma Cairney, co-founder of the Stemettes, Anne-Marie Imafidon, television producer, Kate Harwood, Director General of the Institute of Directors, Stephen Martin, Khaleda Yesmin of Theirworld, Vice President of Intel Corporate Affairs & President of Intel Foundation, Rosalind Hudnell, DJ and Producer, DJ Cuppy, former Captain of Afghanistan’s national football team and founder of Girl Up, Khalida Popal, Member of Parliament in the UK, Alison McGovern, and Manal Abazeed of the Syria Civil Defence (also known as White Helmets).
