Testimonials

“Alyx’s STEM workshops are often tailored to our schools requests and are a fantastic resource that compliments our teaching so well. Meeting a real STEM role model is so inspiring for the children and makes a real lasting impression on them.”

Mrs Armstrong, Deputy Headteacher at Maryport Primary School.

“I have been working in the STEM sector for over 30 years now and once every few years I meet someone who I know is exceptionally special, and will not only be an excellent engineer but will excel, and exceed expectations with everything they do. Alyx is one of these people, she is phenomenal and deeply impressive in all she does.”

Dr Katie Perry, CEO Daphne Jackson Trust.

“It’s so important that we inspire the next generation to take an interest in STEM careers to help build our future workforce. Alyx is proactive in finding ways to make this happen, sparking interest and excitement for STEM from as young as three years old. Encouraging this early passion is vital for developing a competent, diverse, and skilled future workforce. Her work is invaluable to the engineering and wider STEM sector”
