Engage Consulting is proud to announce the sponsorship of NLCS PROBOTS, an exceptional all-girls robotics team from North London that will represent the UK at the prestigious VEX Robotics World Championship this month.
Supporting the Next Generation of Women in STEM
As part of our ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and promoting diversity in STEM, we’re delighted to support this talented team of young innovators through a £1,000 sponsorship. The PROBOTS team has already demonstrated remarkable skill by finishing as UK National Finalists and securing their place at the world championships, which will take place from 6-14 May, 2025.
This sponsorship holds special significance for our organisation because Shelly Aggarwal’s, Senior Technical Consultant at Engage Consulting, daughter is part of the PROBOTS team.
Breaking Barriers in STEM
What makes this sponsorship particularly meaningful is the team’s position as the only all-girls team to reach the top 15 in UK competitions, in a field where boys’ teams outnumber girls’ teams by 8:1. Their success exemplifies the values of innovation, expertise and forward-thinking that align perfectly with Engage Consulting’s core principles.
“Supporting initiatives that encourage more women to pursue careers in STEM fields is crucial to unlocking diversity and realising the capabilities this brings to an evolving sector “, says Matt Johnson, CEO of Engage Consulting. “The PROBOTS team exemplifies the talent, determination, and innovative thinking we need in the energy sector. By sponsoring these young women on their journey to the world stage, we’re investing in a future where technical expertise isn’t defined by gender but by passion and skill.”
A Message from PROBOTS
The team has expressed their gratitude in a heartfelt message to Engage Consulting:
“Dear Engage Consulting,
On behalf of PROBOTS, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous sponsorship and support for our journey to the VEX Robotics World Championship. As the only all-girls school from the UK to qualify for this global event — and the top-performing girls’ teams nationally — your support means more than just funding a trip. It represents a belief in the power and potential of young women in STEM. Thanks to you, we are one step closer to not only competing on the world stage but also proving that girls belong in robotics, engineering, and innovation. Your sponsorship helps us continue to challenge stereotypes, inspire future female innovators, and proudly represent Engage as a supporter of diversity and inclusion in tech. We will keep you updated on our progress, and make sure to showcase your support throughout our journey. Thank you once again for helping us chase our dreams.
Warmest regards, Anaya Bansal, PROBOTS”
Our Commitment to Social Responsibility
This sponsorship continues Engage Consulting’s tradition of supporting worthwhile causes, following our recent £500 donation to the Fuel Bank Foundation. As experts in the energy sector since 2000, we recognise the importance of nurturing the next generation of technical talent who will help shape the UK’s energy landscape and advance Net Zero goals.
We wish the PROBOTS team the very best of luck at the VEX Robotics World Championship and look forward to following their progress.
