Stories from alumni and coaches

Time has changed and so thus have the career options! Fly high with your vivid imagination and rest assured we are all there to support you.

Dr Soumi Paul Mukhopadhyay — Coach
I think Curious Minds has an important role in normalising women and girls showing an interest and passion in STEM.

Angela Maharaj — Coach
You do not have to conform to the white lab coat stereotypes that we so often think of when we imagine women in science. Wear the lipstick, play sport – do whatever other things make you happy.

Clare Kenyon — Coach
