Women in Tech Event

Categories: Latest Academy News, Featured

This is the second year we have hosted the 'Women in Tech' event to increase the number of Year 9 females choosing Computer Science at the GCSE level and beyond and engage and educate them about different career paths involving technology.

Students had the opportunity to hear from various female visitors who have careers in the field of computing and technology who talked about their routes into their current roles. They took the time to sit and talk with the girls about their experiences working in a traditionally male-orientated sector and gave the girls an opportunity to ask questions.

One of our Sixth form students and subject leads in Computer Science took part in the event, speaking with the girls about her choices to study Computer Science at both GCSE and A Level, and her plans to continue studying at university.

Students gave some great feedback after the event:

“I wasn’t going to pick GCSE Computer Science, but now it's my third option” – Phoebe C

“Tech has more opportunities than I thought it does” – Chau T

“The event was very interesting, and I learnt a lot from the visitors about their role and how they got to where they are now.” – Beth L

We would like to thank all the visitors who participated in this event.
