NEWS / 23 January 2025

On Thursday, 23 January the TY girls and 1Y class participated in a Zoom call with Ava (3rd Year UCD Computer Science student) and Jenny (recently graduated from Trinity Engineering) during Computer Studies class.

Ms Maxwell and Ms O'Kelly interviewed them both - and by the way Jenny was calling from Central America where she is currently travelling for six months!) - asking them about who/what inspired them to do Computer Science and Engineering degrees; what are the challenges they face(d), what would you advise your 1st year self and what would you advise your TY self.

It was a fascinating hour and gave us all some really good insights. Thank you both Ava and Jenny for your time!
