The\u00a0audience has been growing recently, and I&#8217;m\u00a0really grateful to everyone who has taken the time to read the blog posts. Those of you who have been coming back for a while might remember Rhys Archer. She took part in one of my favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/?s=%23MondayMaterials\" target=\"_blank\">#MondayMaterials<\/a> so far. We had a good chat while we were filming her, too, and I found out about several of the fascinating things she&#8217;s been involved in while studying here at undergrad and postgrad levels. I thought you might like \u00a0to hear about them:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some of you may have seen my recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/2015\/08\/03\/mondaymaterials-episode-5-rhys-archer\/\">#MondayMaterials<\/a> interview a couple of months back. Thanks for reading, if you did. I\u2019m back today, but this time I was hoping to talk about something other than the science I\u2019ve completed here at UoM. I wanted to talk about some other opportunities I\u2019ve enjoyed as part of the School of Materials and the University in general.<\/p>\n<p>As an aside to my research, a big part of my life here at the Uni has involved working with young people to make education more accessible. This began during my undergraduate studies, and has continued ever since. Here in Manchester we have a fantastically diverse community; people from all walks of life and all corners of the world live within a relatively small radius. This is a community that the Uni works hard to make strong links with.<\/p>\n<p>I have been involved with this community in a range of ways. I worked with young, disadvantaged people in Manchester through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raid.manchester.ac.uk\/undergraduate-recruitment-and-widening-participation\/\">Widening Participation<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raid.manchester.ac.uk\/undergraduate-recruitment-and-widening-participation\/\">team<\/a>, led a charity project working with elderly people in the community with <a href=\"http:\/\/manchesterstudentsunion.com\/studentaction\">Student Action<\/a>, helped on various projects to raise aspirations and break down barriers for women in science, joined <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manchestermind.org\/Volunteering.php\">Manchester Mind<\/a> to help raise awareness of mental health issues, and worked in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.racearchive.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Centre<\/a>, lending a hand with their work on racial equality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1206\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1206\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/10\/certificate.fw_-300x225.png\" alt=\"A nice piece of evidence of just how much great work Rhys has done here at the Uni!\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/10\/certificate.fw_-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/10\/certificate.fw_.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1206\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A nice piece of evidence of just how much great work Rhys has done here at the Uni!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These were all fantastic experiences that I hope you\u2019ll find out more about by following the links. And who knows, maybe I\u2019ll go into more detail in some future blog posts. But today I wanted to tell you about one of my most recent opportunities, and one that was particularly satisfying on a personal level.<\/p>\n<p>Back in March I was invited to take part in an online initiative called <a href=\"http:\/\/spacej15.imanengineer.org.uk\/profile\/rhysarcher\/\">I\u2019m an Engineer, Get Me Out of Here<\/a>! No, this didn\u2019t entail living on a remote island and eating bugs, but instead consisted of taking part in questions and answer session with young people from across the UK, as well as conducting online chats with school classes. Almost as scary as the bugs!<\/p>\n<p>During a two week period the young people involved would ask questions through an online forum or during the live chats, and then they began voting for their favourite engineer in the second week. Each day the one with the least votes would be evicted! I was up against some stiff opposition and I wondered how talking about making carbon fibre composites could ever compete with a satellite engineer, a spacecraft engineer, and a CEO of an engineering firm.<\/p>\n<p>The experience was fantastic. With young people from aged six upwards, the questions asked provided real food for thought and the interaction through live chats were extremely productive. There\u2019s a huge amount of satisfaction in encouraging and invoking enthusiasm for your own research area.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1207\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1207\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/10\/meettheengineers-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"A slightly grainy, but still very exciting shot of the competition website in the closing stages!\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A slightly grainy, but still very exciting shot of the competition website in the closing stages!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As the second week continued, and as I kept being saved from elimination, I began to get increasingly nervous. Happily, I can tell you that I was eventually chosen as the <a href=\"http:\/\/spacej15.imanengineer.org.uk\/2015\/07\/09\/thank-you-from-your-winner-rhys\/\">winner<\/a>. It\u2019s one thing to feel the satisfaction of working with young people and raising aspirations, but it\u2019s another thing to realise the amount of people that you have had a positive influence on.<\/p>\n<p>The winner gained a cheque for \u00a3500 to be spent on a public engagement project for the sciences. I chose to use this to create leaflets about women in science, which will hopefully provide role models of female scientists and engineers to young people in schools across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently working on this project, and hoping for the leaflets to be distributed sometime next year. Alongside the leaflets, I will also be creating a website called \u2018Women of Science\u2019 with regular updates featuring photo stories of female engineers and scientists working across the globe. A big passion of mine is dispelling the myths that exist around women in science, as well as those that make it difficult to determine exactly what science and engineering actually is. This can be a difficult thing \u00a0when a lot of the media isn\u2019t always kind to this cause. This doesn\u2019t help the issue of young people having difficulty finding these jobs accessible, especially women.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1079\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1079\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/Rhys-Archer-graduationblog-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Rhys at her graduation\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/Rhys-Archer-graduationblog-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2015\/07\/Rhys-Archer-graduationblog.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rhys at her graduation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So that\u2019s my ongoing project, something I am very proud to have the chance to undertake, but it wouldn\u2019t have been possible without the work and\u00a0opportunities offered to me through the University beforehand. Whatever level you are studying at the University, there are opportunities to get involved and to try out a new venture with full support. And it\u2019s not just selflessly; these opportunities also look fantastic on a CV and are great for networking opportunities.
