Dr. Niamh Shaw, a scientist, engineer, and space communicator, gave an inspiring keynote speech at the start of the day, talking about how she got into STEM. The last part of the experience was a live-streamed panel of women in tech that linked the Uxbridge and Richmond campuses. Students heard directly from women who are leaders in the tech industry.
