Engineering Thinking Masterclass: Build Something Real for Your CV
Gain practical experience you can showcase on your CV, LinkedIn and GitHub!
This interactive masterclass is your chance to apply engineering thinking to a real problem, get personalised guidance and contribute to a real open-source project alongside other aspiring technologists. It's hands-on from start to finish, so you'll leave with something you built, not just notes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Hands-on application of engineering thinking, not a lecture
Personalised feedback on your approach from mentors
A chance to contribute to a real open-source project
Collaboration with other aspiring engineers and technologists
A supportive, girls-only space to ask questions and try things out
HOW THE SESSION RUNS
Quick recap of the engineering thinking approach
Break down the problem and plan your contribution
Build, with mentors on hand to guide you
Feedback and next steps
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
A project contribution you can add to your CV and LinkedIn
Activity on GitHub that shows your skills in action
Confidence breaking problems down the way engineers do
Something concrete to talk about in applications and interviews

Your laptop
A GitHub account (free to set up at github.com if you don't have one yet)
