Wavemakers – We #Press for Progress
In March this year, on International Women’s Day, Women in Subsea Engineering (WISE) officially launched the Wavemakers Program. Our aim is to deliver role models to inspire girls to pursue STEM subjects, and ultimately consider a career in the subsea industry.

Our Wavemakers have all had career success via STEM in Subsea careers and are actively championing this as a career path.
Our aim is for gender parity in our industry, however we also know that there is a decline in girls studying STEM subjects. As the mantra says, ‘you can’t be what you can’t see (Marian Wright Edelman)’, so the Wavemakers campaign is working to raise visibility where ever possible, and particularly in schools.
Our Wavemaker comic book tells the stories of these 12 women, demonstrating real life scenarios with real subsea technologies. If you’re interested in a copy of this book, you can pre-order here, and at the same time you’ll be donating an additional copy to an Australian school library to help inspire Wavemakers of the future to continue to #PressforProgress.
