They can also participate in a Q&amp;A with female electronics engineers, hear from an Apple engineer and get hands-on with a microcontroller.<\/p>\n<p>Participants are also invited to apply to join Apple\u2019s Mentorship Programme.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact<\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/static.electronicsweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/30161356\/Stewart-Edmondson-CEO-UKESF-900.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-868047 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/static.electronicsweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/30161356\/Stewart-Edmondson-CEO-UKESF-900-300x206.webp\" alt=\"UKESF CEO, Steward Edmondson\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.electronicsweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/30161356\/Stewart-Edmondson-CEO-UKESF-900-300x206.webp 300w, https:\/\/static.electronicsweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/30161356\/Stewart-Edmondson-CEO-UKESF-900-768x527.webp 768w, https:\/\/static.electronicsweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/30161356\/Stewart-Edmondson-CEO-UKESF-900-160x110.webp 160w, https:\/\/static.electronicsweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/30161356\/Stewart-Edmondson-CEO-UKESF-900.webp 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;We\u2019re delighted to see inspiring young people we\u2019ve met in previous years of the Girls into Electronics programme now succeeding at university,&#8221; said UKESF CEO Steward Edmondson (pictured, right).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through providing high-quality, immersive experiences, we hope to show girls, who might not have previously known much about electronics, what they could achieve and the impact that they could have in the sector.
