This presentation, delivered to the Namagunga Girls Coding Club, centered around the theme of "Opportunities for Women in Technology and Engineering." It aimed to showcase how women not only belong in the technology sector but have significantly shaped its evolution. The focus then shifted to highlighting the unique strengths that women bring to the field, followed by exploring the myriad of opportunities available to them. The presentation ultimately encouraged the students to pursue these opportunities with confidence and determination.
