Transition year students taking part in
a mass female STEM selfie (STEMfie) in CIT for a morning of exhibitions and presentations which are aimed at promoting greater female participation in STEM as part of the I WISH initiative.
Other hubs will be hosted at various venues throughout the county and all the students will come together in Cork City Hall on Thursday afternoon at an event which is a partnership between CIT, UCC, IT@Cork, Cork Chamber of Commerce and Cork City Council. I Wish aims to address the gender imbalance in STEM and to showcase to students the diversity of STEM Careers.
In CIT, EMC, VMware, Boston Scientific, Pharma Chemical Ireland and Asystec, CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory and CIT Coder Dojo will host interactive exhibits. In total, more than 1,000 TY students will attend regional I Wish Events
