Watts in a home – Electric Dreams 2024


What is it? The Watts in A Home – Electric Dreams project, funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering Ingenious Fund, celebrates 100 years of women’s involvement in engineering and electrical power in the home, catalysed by the Electrical Association of Women which was formed in 1924.
Working with the Women’s Engineering Society, cohorts of women engineers in Bristol, Newcastle, Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Belfast and Glasgow, are developing their public engagement and professional skills to prepare and deliver an electrifying, immersive public event at various visitor attractions around the UK.
Come back soon for event dates.

*The title Watts in A Home comes from a play produced by the EAW in 1930 which explores the development of electricity in the home over four generations.
