Parent Power: inspiring the next generation of female engineers


Ella works on developing some of the world’s most iconic supercars and has been crowned Young Woman Engineer of the Year and received her MBE from Prince William earlier this year for services to innovation, engineering and diversity.

Chatting with her father while they build LEGO McLaren F1 LM and Solus GT supercars together at the McLaren Technology Centre, where the company designs, develops and builds its supercars, Ella jokes that “as much as it pains me to give you the credit dad, I think a lot stems from the parents!….If you change the way society talks about STEM careers”, she says, “I think that would be a huge change”.

Research from children’s rights charity Plan International, McLaren Automotive’s global charity partner, shows the size of the challenge with 27 per cent of schoolgirls saying they worry about being good enough to study STEM subjects.*

Ella finds that when she speaks to girls around the age of 11 as one of many McLaren STEM ambassadors, they tend to be losing interest in science and feel it is not right for them.
