Yesterday, the 10th of February, TY girls who did not go on the Berlin trip got the chance to attend I Wish 2017. A convention all about encouraging women to go into STEM field careers. The event was hosted by Sinéad Kennedy, who hosts RTE's Winning Streak with Marty Whelan. We watched a panel talk with leading professionals in the STEM field. It opened our eyes as to the variety of careers out there in STEM. Each attendee received a goodie bag at the event. Many science, technology and engineering firms were present at the convention and more free items were given out. Some firms had VR experiences there which were very cool. The companies also explained their work and the benefits of a STEM field job. The whole convention focused on the importance of considering a job in STEM. We also had 2 hours to shop in Wilton Shopping Centre beforehand.
