Success for Holly – S2 Girls into Engineering
Congratulations to Holly Neil ( 2F2 ) who was successful in her application for the University of Strathclyde ’ s Young Weir-Wise Discovering Engineering for Girls event in January 2023 . Holly was one of just 150 pupils chosen across the country – against stiff competition for places . She will spend two days on the University of Strathclyde campus and will hear from staff at the University and colleagues from the Weir Group who will provide an insight into studying and working in the field of engineering . They will also partake in a number of practical activities run by University of Strathclyde staff and engineers . We have developed a proud history of success in this event , and are excited for Holly since it is the first one since 2019 to be held on campus rather than online . We look forward to hearing all about it , and wish Holly all the best !
