About this listen

 This podcast is brought to you by EVolocity. EVolocity is a registered charity inspiring young Kiwis into sustainable engineering while fast-forwarding New Zealand’s clean-tech future. Since 2014, they’ve been providing year 7 to 13 students across New Zealand with an opportunity to design and build their own electric vehicles. After participating in interactive workshops (exploring topics like team planning, fabrication, and electronics), students compete against each other in a series of regional and national competitions that test the aerodynamic drag, speed, and maneuverability of their vehicles. Along the way, they learn about innovation, clean tech, and engineering. The purpose of this podcast series is to shed some light on women in the global STEM workforce. Women make up only 29% of the global STEM workforce. That must change. We have a responsibility to ensure the next generation of wāhine see themselves reflected in STEM fields and know they belong. Our commitment is to create opportunities where young women feel empowered, supported, and inspired to explore their potential and step into STEM with confidence. This podcast will feature the stories of Kiwi women working in STEM, offering a glimpse into the exciting possibilities these careers hold, and celebrating the resilience, passion, and innovation of women in these fields.Copyright 2025 Audiobooks New Zealand Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences
