Last week, several members of the Tech Club and Computer Science students went to the Women in Technology Conference at Xavier University’s Cintas Center. Our WiT field trip was very fun and we all had a good time. We got to meet many different women (speakers, mentors, and students from other schools) and connect and talk with all the women around. It was very nice.
We were able to brainstorm with each other on a certain topic (a challenge) on smarthouses, as the WiT was about how technology has accelerated over the years (AI, etc.) and how us women can have a career in the technology field, just as much as men! They also talked to us about using different platforms such as LinkedIn, Tiktok etc., including apps like Discord, Netflix, and the face ID on iPhones (features) that use AI.
Overall, our experience there was wonderful! It was very fun, and we were glad to have been there to meet many aspiring women giving us inspiration on our own careers!
