Roma Agrawal Nuts and Bolts

We welcome the author, broadcaster and structural engineer whose designs include London’s Shard. A powerful role model and advocate for getting more girls into engineering as a career, she’ll explain how, though modern technology seems mind-bogglingly complex, seven simple but fundamental inventions enabled humanity to see the invisible, build the spectacular, communicate across vast distances, and even escape our planet. She invites us to marvel at these small but perfectly formed inventions, and will share the stories of the remarkable, and often unknown, scientists and engineers who made them possible.
