Helen Gomez, majoring in Computer Science and the treasurer for WiTCON, encourages students to come, “It’s a way for students to make connections, network, and have fun. Even if you aren’t an FIU student, you can come to start your journey and enjoy a day full of free workshops to build your skills and meet new people.”
