How do we engage girls in engineering and retain those already in the field? This week we’ve been speaking to women across the industry and today Jane Garvey speaks to Solveiga Pakstaite, Industrial designer and winner of the 2014 James Dyson award. 

As another summer begins and a fresh batch of students get their first taste of freedom, we talk next steps; should you go off to see the world, or knuckle down and get a job? What would be best for your CV? Joining Jane is the writer and former teacher Chloe Combi and Charly Lester who travelled the world before settling into her career. 

This week launches a major exhibition of the work of the sculptor Barbara Hepworth.  She was one of the most important sculptors of the twentieth century and left behind an extraordinary body of work. She was born in Yorkshire in 1903 and died during a fire at her studio in St Ives when she was 72. The historian, Juliet Gardiner, has been to her studio in Cornwall and the Hepworth Wakefield gallery in Yorkshire. She began by asking the director of Hepworth Wakefield, Simon Wallis, about her artistic legacy.
