Speaking for Leaders and Organisations

Lucy talks about how engineers actually solve problems: trying things, testing them, finding out what doesn’t work and having another go.

Her talks draw on real projects — from robots and prototypes to electronics, manufacturing and unusual engineering problems — and look at what other organisations can learn from that way of working.

Topics include:

  • Trying things before you know the answer
  • Making complicated things understandable
  • Why building, testing and tinkering still matter

Lucy gave the most wonderful keynote at Inspirefest. Our international audience loved her. She is unparalleled when it comes to making her science talks at the same time informative, engaging and entertaining

Lucy was the keynote speaker at the International Women’s Day Conference at the University of Chester. Lucy’s talk about her career in Science and Engineering was totally inspiring. Students and members of the public at Lucy’s evening talk, (including myself), went away with a feeling of renewed confidence in their own abilities

In her presentation Dr Rogers took the participants on a journey through the technological development from the 60’s up to present time with focus on the Internet of Things.
Her presentation hugely inspired the participating educators to think of learning in a broader view and see what is possible if we allow teamwork, networking, mistakes, fixing and most of all play into education! A way of learning which is giving students creative digital literacy in a world with robots, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things. Thank you!

Live coding demos are risky – but Dr Lucy Rogers did an excellent and entertaining job of taking us through the stages of “Hello World” to “Tweet responding dinosaur” using Node-RED. She shared her enthusiasm for using fun and creative ways to solve problems. Although the audience were developers, Lucy showed that the simplicity and ease of the software she used could be embraced by everyone. I believe many were inspired to try it.
