What is WES Lottie Tour?WES Lottie Tour is an annual campaign that takes 'Lottie' to many different locations accompanying lots of different engineering friends who show Lottie the work they do in engineering and related careers. Lottie's experiences are shared across social media using #WESLottieTour.
Lottie has captured the imagination of hundreds of people throughout the UK and beyond, travelling to many countries including USA, Malawi and Antarctica. 2021 will be the sixth WES Lottie Tour and we will once again show how varied and exciting it is to work in engineering throughout Tomorrow's Engineers week, 8th-12th November 2021! |

Who is WES Lottie Tour aimed at?WES Lottie Tour has a number of audiences - its primary aim is for Lottie to inspire and encourage young girls (and boys) to think of careers in engineering and STEM subjects to be open to everyone.
To reach the younger audience, we need to target parents and educators to showcase these careers. The means for doing this is the WES Lottie Tour. Each year we invite people working in engineering careers to 'borrow' Lottie and share their experiences with everyone using #WESLottieTour on social media. If you would like to be involved please sign up today and take Lottie on the #WESLottieTour. |
Why WES Lottie Tour ?WES Lottie Tour was dreamed up by the Women's Engineering Society Early Careers Board (WES ECB) and the people who gave birth to Lottie - Arklu. The Early Careers Board is a group of young volunteer women, working and studying within engineering who are passionate about the wonderful and varied careers available in their fields.
The ECB continues to run WES Lottie Tour every year and is looking to make it even bigger through more Lottie borrowers and through Lottie sponsorship. By putting more money into Lottie's tour the ECB hopes that even more people will be able to take part in the tour and press and social media coverage can be increased. |

When is WES Lottie Tour ?WES Lottie Tour happens every year during Tomorrow's Engineers week, when our volunteers share their amazing photos, highlighting the exciting careers you can have in engineering. For this year, Tomorrow's Engineers week is the 8th-12th November 2021, so keep an eye out on social media and be sure to share with the young people in your life! |
Lottie's safety and security is of utmost importance all all times, She wants all children to be aware of stranger danger. If Lottie's young friends want to have experiences like Lottie it is essential their parent or carer is aware of where they are going and who with, and give their approval first!
