Raw materials going in, products coming out; the concept of building things was enough to engage her creative mind and stick.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_f5bdb8-87\">Since she was 16 years old Ruth has been around manufacturing, having started off designing and realising projects during her GCSE\u2019s before inventing a \u2018stair aid\u2019, a concept Ruth developed from scratch, built, and ultimately brought to market. It was upon meeting fellow Engineer and designer, Shaun Brown, at the Big Bang Fair (UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair) that set the ball in motion to creating an online platform, and in 2016 they put together a test programme that would eventually become \u2018Kids Invent Stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_8ca372-28, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_8ca372-28[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_8ca372-28\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_8ca372-28 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_8ca372-28[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_8ca372-28\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading239_8ca372-28 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_8ca372-28\">Aimed at primary school ages, \u201cKids Invent Stuff\u201d is a YouTube channel (as seen on The One Show, BBC News Online and Tomorrows World Live) encouraging youngsters to engage with real engineering projects and submit ideas for inventions for the team to build and test on camera. As you can imagine it makes for brilliant viewing! Passionate about challenging stereotypes, one of Ruth\u2019s most memorable projects was bringing to life 8 year old Courtney\u2019s Mega Fun Grappling Hook Zipwire, perfect for Princesses who don\u2019t need Princes to rescue them from the tower, they can make their escape themselves!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_028524-ce, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_028524-ce[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_028524-ce\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_028524-ce mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_028524-ce[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_028524-ce\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading239_028524-ce wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_028524-ce\">Now Ruth is determined to make sure other young people don\u2019t miss out on the opportunity to experience engineering as a potential hobby or future career pathway, either through misplaced stereotypes or simply because the right signposts weren\u2019t there at the right age. Regardless of gender, background or ability, engineering should be accessible to all and Ruth has created a fun and engaging platform through which to highlight this, encouraging young people to think \u201cI can do that\u201d, and give Engineering a try.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_f1061f-2a\">And what of welding?<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_05344d-09, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_05344d-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_05344d-09\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_05344d-09 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_05344d-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_05344d-09\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading239_05344d-09 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_05344d-09\">\u201cIt\u2019s like sewing with fire!\u201d is Ruth\u2019s enthusiastic response to my question \u201cwhat is it that drew you to give welding a go?\u201d After initially starting out with a welding helmet purchased off Amazon and a friend willing to lend out their plasma cutter, Ruth was introduced to Lincoln Electric who were keen to support \u2018woman in welding\u2019. The team at Lincoln generously provided weld training as well as kit consisting of Lincoln\u2019s Speedtech 215 and 200 &#8211; the latter Ruth is particularly fond of as it fits perfectly in the back of her Ford Ka. Not only that, as well as offering both TIG and ARC welding, they are great machines to learn to weld on, too!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image239_d9ade5-bc .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image239_d9ade5-bc\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rapidweldingbl.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ruthhelmet.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapidwelding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ruthhelmet.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/rapidwelding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ruthhelmet-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_d65629-69, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_d65629-69[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_d65629-69\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_d65629-69 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading239_d65629-69[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_d65629-69\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading239_d65629-69 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading239_d65629-69\">Lincoln Electric are also launching their brilliant WELD\u2019her range of clothing and PPE, consisting of a welding helmet, jacket and gloves aimed at our lady welders.
