The School of Education, University of Galway project ‘CodePlus’ brought 50 students to Fidelity Investments last week! 5th year and Transition Year girls from Dominican College, Taylors Hill, Galway spent the afternoon at the Fidelity Investments offices to explore what it’s like to work in technology.

The students were given talks by software engineers Mary Tyrell, Oluchi Anyabuike, and Sinead O’Mahoney – introducing the sector and industry to the young people. Then the students conducted some hand-on agile activities with Conor Dunne & Mary McMahon.

CodePlus is a national programme co-delivered by University of Galway, University of Limerick and Trinity College Dublin (funded by SFI, Google and others). It provides coding workshops, CS-focussed career talks and industry site visits to 5K+ students annually.
