The Intro to Rust workshop was very hands-on and taught me a worthwhile skill which I will be able to apply in my day-to-day job as a systems engineer. Moreover, I haven’t been very fortunate to know many female engineers, even fewer especially system engineers, and this conference really helped me meet and connect with other female engineers and learn from them.

Listening to the stories of all the women in Science and Technology was very inspiring, it made me reflect at my life and gave me a path forward on how to approach building my own career. Networking with all the people in the conference helped shed light on the various fields where women are leaving a mark, now I know how to reach out and get the support I need, which was something I’ve struggled with in the past. The small tips that were shared in the talks, made an impact on the approach towards my goals. Thank you!
