Three moments that changed the world | Roma Agrawal | TEDxRoyalHolloway

Structural Engineer Roma Agrawal tells us the stories of three ordinary people who decided to try to solve seemingly small problems that they encountered in their everyday lives. Little did they realise that their ingenious solutions would revolutionise the world around us, changing how we live our lives forever. Roma Agrawal is a structural engineer and has worked with signature architects during her ten year career designing footbridges, towers and sculptures including six years on The Shard, the tallest tower in Western Europe. A multiple award winner, both for her technical prowess and her contribution to raising awareness of engineering as a career, she was given the ‘Diamond Award for Engineering Excellence’ by the Association for Consultancy and Engineering. She has appeared as an expert in documentaries and has been featured in many UK broadsheets, magazines and online; on the BBC, ITV, and selected as a ‘Leading Lady’ in the M&S campaign 2014. Outside work, she actively promotes engineering, scientific and technical careers to young people and particularly to under-represented groups such as women. She is an ambassador for the 'Your Life' campaign, working with industry and government to increase the number of students studying maths and physics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
