I Wish 2021

 

I Wish is an award-winning, volunteer led, community-based social enterprise and is committed to showcasing the power of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to female school students aged 13 to 17.  Since 2015, almost 25,000 girls have participated in the programme (www.iwish.ie).

I Wish has partnered with many global companies who are passionate about diversity, such as Platinum sponsor Deloitte and Key Partners Dell Technologies, VMware, ARUP, Johnson & Johnson, Vodafone, RDJ, and PepsiCo.

Going virtual this year has opened it up to a wider audience across Ireland and internationally with the highest registrations yet.  Already 11,000 girls have registered for the 2021 event with registrations from as far afield as Kenya, the United States, Canada, Singapore, and Peru with a record high of Irish registrations.

Speakers this year include Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland, Anne O’Leary, CEO of Vodafone, Marion Buchet, a French fighter pilot, Brenda Romero, an American Bafta-winning video game designer and developer among a host of other inspirational women working in STEM across some of the biggest businesses in Ireland and the world.
