The next event is taking place on Thursday 10th March at St Peter's School, Guildford. We already have four STEM speakers confirmed! Over the last few weeks, we have been blogging a short bio for each of our speakers.
Up last, but certainly not least, is Stefanie Kohl!

Up last, but certainly not least, is Stefanie Kohl!
Stefanie Kohl
Systems Engineer
Surrey Satellite
Technology Ltd
Stefanie did her A-Levels
in Physics and Mathematics and, following a gap year, she enrolled in a 5-year
Mechanical Engineering course at the TU Dresden in Germany. She later
specialised in space systems engineering and did various internships and
student exchanges in Germany, Sweden and Holland.
After finishing
university with ‘Diplom Ingenieur’ (equivalent to a ‘Masters’ degree) she went
to Holland to work for the European Space Agency as a young graduate. There she
worked in the Concurrent Design Facility on feasibility studies for future
missions. After this 15-month placement she accepted a job as systems engineer
at SSTL in Guildford, where she has been working for five years.
Stefanie is currently the
lead systems engineer of a three satellite constellation which was launched in
July 2015. She has worked on the project from the beginning to hand over to the
customer which was a unique and amazing opportunity.
