The night also featured a speech from Anastasia Laczko, the UQ MARS Technical Officer, who talked about why she chose to study at UQ and how she came to major in Mechatronic Engineering. Anastasia also discussed how there are many different pathways to studying computing at UQ and that everyone’s experience is unique.
“It’s okay if your journey is also a bit bumpy because there’s no one road to computing and no cookie-cutter approach to having a great university experience. There are going to be so many amazing opportunities … all you have to do, is being willing to take a step out of your comfort zone and say yes to them.”
