Tweet, tweet! A group of students visited Twitter’s New York City office last week for a tour and interactive discussion with Twitter staffers about the field of computer science. The students—members of the Girls Who Code after-school club and sophomore engineering students—were accompanied by Pradnya Wakachaure, the Girls Who Code instructor, and Mrs. Silverman, the club’s faculty adviser and Chair of Engineering and Computer Science at Frisch.

Three Twitter engineers—two of whom were women—explained the structure of Twitter’s operations and answered questions about software engineering and career opportunities in the field. The trip was empowering for young women at Frisch.
