A morning session was run with a format of 4 speakers from different roles within Twitter giving a 5-10-minute talk on their study, career and experience with computing and IT, followed by a panel discussion in which the students could ask questions from the floor. To finish the session there was an opportunity for the girls to speak informally with employees while snacks were available. The date chosen for the event coincided with \u201cInternational Day of the Girl\u201d which made the event a fitting way to celebrate the day for the students, teachers and volunteers involved.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-143 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/codeplus.scss.tcd.ie:443\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/breakout-session-2-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeplus.scss.tcd.ie:443\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/breakout-session-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/codeplus.scss.tcd.ie:443\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/breakout-session-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/codeplus.scss.tcd.ie:443\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/breakout-session-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This event provided an opportunity for students in girls\u2019 secondary schools to learn about the many different career opportunities that the technology sector provides through meeting and engaging with female role-models working in the industry.
