@Katherine Groves we couldn't agree more, keep an eye out for Techognition Week in March with content and competitions exclusively for techs!

So many inspirational ideas - Technicians across Britain are not only scientific geniuses but creative as well! It's also lovely to see our community supporting each other and sharing their experiences. STEM has been one of my top "go to" resources when I need help navigating my solo role. Keep up the great work!
