Girls into Tech - taster event

When: Wednesday, July 5, 2023, 10:15 AM - 2:30 PM
Where: The Graduate Centre, Mile End campus

Today's tech industry offers creative, flexible and highly rewarding career pathways.

Yet only 27% of female students say they would consider a career in technology (compared to 61% of males), and only 3% say it is their first choice of career, according to research done by PwC.

We know that the tech industry requires people of all skills and backgrounds, and through initiatives like these, we are committed to helping to build a diverse and inclusive tech workforce of the future.

Girls into Tech attendees will gain an introduction to studying and working in the world of tech, through interactive sessions with tech professionals, current Queen Mary students and teaching staff.

You'll also have a chance to tour the Queen Mary campus, to experience what it could be like to study a tech degree at university.

This event is for female-identifying students in Years 11-13 with an enthusiasm for studying a tech-related subject (computer science, electronic engineering, computer systems engineering, etc).
