Dick Emery came to SATRO via Peter Stables, a SATRO Associate, as they had worked together as Engineers at BT where Dick worked for 30 years. Having retired in 2011, Dick has dedicated so much time and energy to supporting our programme of events; he has volunteered at over 26 events giving us an amazing 144 hours of time. Dick is very adaptable and has volunteered across the board at our events, making use of his engineering skills at our Mega-Structure Challenge days and in our Primary Science activities, and also demonstrating his business skills at our SATRO Business Games, both senior and junior.
Additionally he has shown a willingness to roll up his sleeves and help out at our annual Science Festival and TeenTech events. (Additionally he has attended our Careers Speed Dating events to try and enthuse the next generation to become engineers.)
Dick has said that, “I enjoy volunteering with SATRO because the events are always well organised, and the young people get so much fun from them. SATRO always share the event feedback with the volunteers, and it’s fantastic to see so many comments that show that the young people have discovered that science and engineering is fun!”
