Rolls-Royce
Inspiring tomorrow's innovators to explore science and engineering
Together we're encouraging girls and young women to reach their full potential.
Our Girls' Attitudes Survey found that girls feel there are too few women role models in STEM, not enough women teaching these subjects and too few women scientists shown on TV. More than a quarter (27%) of girls aged 11 to 21 believe teachers and career advisors often encourage girls to do different subjects to boys. Rolls-Royce and Girlguiding share a commitment to challenging stereotypes around science, technology, engineering and maths, and seek to inspire a new generation of young innovators into these industries.
How we work together
Together Girlguiding and Rolls-Royce are inspiring girls to discover science and technology and develop important skills through fun activities. Rolls-Royce co-sponsors the innovate skills builder and has co-developed the activities to encourage girls to practice critical thinking skills discover more about STEM.
The innovate skills builder has 6 stages spanning all sections. Girls will be awarded a badge as they complete each stage.
Girls will have the opportunity to complete activities including carrying out scientific experiments, creating algorithms for robots, planning video games, learning about binary code through making computer science themed bracelets and having a go at being a crime scene investigator – to name a few! Activities have been designed to encourage creativity, communication and collaboration, as well as a scientific thinking approach, to develop analytical and problem solving skills.
Inspired? Rolls-Royce have also created badge booster activities for girls that have earned their Innovate badges 2, 4 or 6. Download them here:

About Rolls-Royce
Scientists and engineers at Rolls-Royce have been at the forefront of innovation for more than 100 years, helping to power, protect and connect the modern world. They design, build and maintain systems that provide mission-critical power in the air, on land and at sea. They’re helping the world do things tomorrow that cannot be done today, and playing their part in the energy transition for a more sustainable world.
Today, the company makes engines that power many of the world's most advanced passenger jets, like the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, but is just as focused on developing the technology that will connect us in the future. Engines using sustainable fuels, hybrid-powered and electric engines are all being developed to meet our transport needs in a more sustainable future, not only in the air but also on land and at sea.
