Followed by an online mentoring session, student questions ranging from the finer points of technological principles to queries about the vision and future prospects of the virtual reality industry enabled mentors to get a glimpse of the wide diversity of students’ thoughts and reactions.

Anymotion mentor Park Da-som, said, “I was very happy to be able to showcase a variety of occupation opportunities. While female students can have relative difficulties in approaching these, I am confident that the experiences gained in this event will give them the skills and confidence to pursue their future career paths.” She added, “I look forward to continuing to support the future activities of female science and engineering talent at DSU.”
