CIT I Wish Campus Week

The CIT I Wish Campus week took place the week of Jan 13th.  I Wish Campus Week is a female only programme designed to introduce TY students to the diverse, exciting and rewarding career opportunities available in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). 

A number of TY students attended the 5-day programme that allows girls to immerse themselves in STEM through practical and interactive workshops, site visits and demonstrations.  Students visited number of sites and took part in lectures about science, technology, engineering and maths. On the last day students took part in a live Q&A with previous female students from CIT and had the opportunity to meet the founders of the iWish programme. Overall, they really enjoyed the week and benefited greatly from this experience.
