What a way to finish our Leonardo Routes into STEM programme!

On the final day, students got hands-on experience building an electrical loom used inside an aircraft – something many said was a highlight of their time with Leonardo!

They also enjoyed behind-the-scenes tours of the Dynamic Composite Centre, where helicopter blades and rotor heads are produced, and the Repair and Overhaul Centre, discovering how aircraft components are maintained and serviced.

The programme wrapped up with a CV preparation and interview skills session, helping students build confidence and prepare for their next steps.

A huge thank you to everyone at Leonardo for inspiring the next generation of engineers and opening up opportunities for young women in STEM! 💜
