Starting your first job is stressful enough without feeling like you’re in daily competition with a teammate. When a colleague already has a connection to the hiring manager, it’s easy to feel overlooked and threatened when they get extra praise or meeting time. 🫠🆘

We asked our network of mentors and volunteers how to navigate favouritism in the workplace and protect your peace. The consensus? Someone else's success is not your failure.

The full, detailed breakdown of advice for navigating workplace dynamics is now live on the Stemettes Zine. 🔗

If you have you ever felt like you were in competition with a colleague? How did you deal with it? Share your tips in the comments below! 👇

This is The Ada Effect. 💫

In just 13 years, Stemettes has reached over 70,000+ young women and non-binary people across the UK to reshape the outlook in the STEM and STEAM industry, because when you connect just one young person to their ideal role model, you spark a chain reaction that reshapes industries.💥🔗

Right now, women make up less than a third of the UK STEAM workforce and we're here to change that- and now you too can be part of the chain reaction.

Swipe through to see what The Ada Effect is, what we've already achieved and how you can get involved.

Radiance takes many forms. In 2026, we honor Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon, whose work with Stemettes creates spaces where young women and non-binary people can discover STEAM as something lived, felt, and beautifully within reach – finding a place where they truly belong. This is the Power of Radiance in action.

The ‘Power of Radiance Awards’ is our long-term commitment to supporting education, employment and empowerment programs for girls across the world. by @stemettes

We honour the life of Margaret Hamilton (1936 - 2026). 🕊️

Long before modern software existed, Margaret pioneered software engineering for NASA's Apollo space program. Her software saved the Apollo 11 mission from complete disaster moments before touchdown. 🌙

Back then, her lines of code were translated into hardware by seamstresses who hand-wove copper thread into magnetic cores. That combination of computer science and physical craftsmanship made space travel possible.

Share this carousel in your stories to celebrate the woman who taught computers how to think under pressure. 💻✨

Read her full story on the Stemettes Zine at the link in our bio. 🔗

@kom.patel is out there advancing healthcare in developing nations and proving that turning down one path can lead to even bigger opportunities! 🩺🌍✨

From building a Ruben's tube in high school to turning down a 3 year contract in Rwanda to move to London, her career in global health has already made a massive impact.

Komal continues to embrace learning every single day. Now, she's advocating for more women in senior academic and industry positions across physics, maths, engineering and computer science! 💡

Walking into a room full of professionals and trying to start a conversation can give anyone stage fright. 🫣

The secret to being incredible at networking? Stop worrying about trying to sound 'smart' or pitching yourself and start asking genuine questions that get people talking about their real experiences! People love sharing their stories and helping out someone just starting out- you just need the right icebreakers to open the door.

Part 1 of our networking cheat sheet covers how to break the ice and dig into someone's career journey (without sounding like a robot). Swipe through to save your favourites! ➡️

GODMOTHER OF STEM FUTURES✨

By 20, Anne-Marie had a Master’s in mathematics and computer science from Oxford. In 2013, she founded Stemettes to tackle the severe gender gap and lack of visibility for women and non-binary people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

We love Anne-Marie because she built the space instead of waiting for it to ‘appear’.

And most crucially, because she puts voice to the central Godmothers tenet: when women aren’t in the room building technology, their absence becomes part of the technology itself.

Swipe to learn more about her work with Stemettes and why we so admire her.
