Virtual Tech Week Talks Planned for the Midlands

/in , /by

Midlands Science is delighted to be celebrating Ireland’s Tech Week next week across the Midlands by hosting a number of virtual talks for secondary schools with the help and support of a range of voluntary corporate speakers.

Tech Week is a nationwide festival of technology driven events aimed at students, parents and the public. This festival offers experiential engagement to students which will allow them to develop their interest in technology, advance creativity and innovation while also let them have a lot of fun! Over the past year, more than ever before, people of all ages have seen just how important and inevitable technology is for us all. We have witnessed how the development of new technologies help to save lives; improves how we work and makes the world a better place to be. The recent positive impacts of technology on society has helped us to reach new heights that have never before been imagined.

Gerry Buckley, founder and CEO of NIS, a leading IT services company based in the Midlands said,

‘I am delighted to partake in this year’s Tech Week by virtually visiting a number of local Midlands schools to demonstrate the critical role that technology plays in so many areas of life. Midlands Science places a strong emphasis on making that important connection between science, technology and real-world jobs and this really encourages young people to pursue careers in these fields. The current pandemic that we have been collectively facing over the past year has greatly highlighted how critical technology is in our lives and whilst many students are already acutely aware of this, we also need to deliver the message that there is so much career diversity when it comes to the Tech world. All sec tors from transportation to education and from healthcare to financial services rely on the latest technologies to operate effectively and dedicated events like Tech Week really help raise awareness of the wide spectrum of jobs that are available in this industry.’

This annual event usually brings together many tech experts and enthusiasts to network, provide demonstrations, deliver workshops and take part in discussions. As is the case for many other public events, this year will be different but it is still important to delve in to the ever-evolving world of tech and to demonstrate just how diverse it can be.

CEO of Midlands Science, Jackie Gorman said,

‘We are really looking forward to virtually visiting schools across the Midlands during Tech Week to give students the opportunity to learn more about the latest technologies and to talk to them about the world of opportunities associated with it as a sec tor. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many corporate speakers who will be giving their time to help us celebrate and showcase all things tech and to hopefully inspire more young people to consider the technology fields when to comes to future course and career choices.’
