NAB Women In IT Workshop 

When I signed up for this program I didn’t know what to think. I was heavily interested in the STEAM program at our school, and after reading a little bit about what the program entailed, decided to join. It was truly an amazing experience. Not only was I able to work with my peers, but also got to join forces with many students from other schools in learning about the safety, dangers and wonders modern technologies has to offer. I was able to learn new things about IT and the careers and ever growing occupations in IT. At NAB, we were able to fully see the potential of the future of technology, as well as see how it is ever adapting. We were able to understand some dangers, and even how to prevent dangerous software and code from infecting our devices. We learnt far to many more things in this program that I don’t have room to mention here, but it was so beneficial to my peers and I that I would suggest all students to try it out. My thanks to NAB for hosting such a fun program, and for allowing us to gain knowledge in not only present and future careers for women in IT, but having such knowledgeable speakers. The NAB Women in IT program is definitely a highlight for me, and I will not be forgetting the skills and information it has taught me for many years to come.
