Congratulations to Keelin Boyhan, Sophia Byrne, Aoibheann Conlon, Elizabeth Ichim and Amelie Silvestre who reached the Accenture Girls in Analytics Final and presented their project in Accenture on Tuesday 17th December. Thank you to Ms McCauley who worked with the students, her feedback is below.
On the day, the students stood up in front of the audience, introduced themselves, smiled and presented like this was something they did every day.  They delivered the most entraining presentation and almost won!   They didn’t read from cards or slides.  They took the audience through a story and were entertaining, professional, while building upon their analysis. 
When working on the project, the students were working with some real world factors, such as working with team members whom were not their normal friend group, trying to find time with classes and other projects competing for both their time and attention and figuring out new software. They did every piece of the analysis and pulled together the presentation by themselves. They helped each other and worked collaboratively, like a professional team in the real world of work.  The Accenture MD, Noelle Doody, who sponsored the event, told Ms McCauley that she thought the team were very impressive.
 
Well done!
