LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles welcomed the James Dyson Foundation for a day of tinkering to encourage exploration of a future in engineering. The James Dyson Foundation's mission is to inspire young people to pursue a career in engineering and regularly hosts workshops for students of all ages in the hopes of sparking interest in STEM fields. The workshop was led by Samantha Kuderna, US Manager of the Foundation, and Kate Craft, Dyson engineer, for students in 7th and 9th grade. After an overview of the history of Dyson and the company's approach to invention, Craft led a teardown of Dyson's Supersonic hairdryer. As students followed step-by-step instructions to strip away parts of the machine, they learned about the innovative technology that powers the revolutionary hairdryer.

Key Points:
