Tackling Gender Imbalance #THISAYRSHIREGIRLCAN Technology Workout On June 14 we hosted an industry-led Technology Workout for 250 first and second year secondary female pupils from schools across Ayrshire. The Technology Workout was delivered in partnership with SmartSTEMS and organised as part of our #ThisAyrshireGirlCan campaign to encourage more girls into STEM. The pupils and their teachers heard from inspirational women who have forged successful careers in STEM. They took part in interactive workshops run by companies like JP Morgan and learned how to code at our award-winning CoderDojo computer coding club. The magazine of Ayrshire College 26
