Join us for an exciting Industry Design Sprint tailored exclusively for girls in years 9-10! This empowering gathering is designed to ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and pave the way for a future filled with endless possibilities.
If you are interested in all things STEM, emerging technologies, solving real-world problems, and working closely with experts in Industries around Geelong, we are looking for you to join us at the Tech School!
This event allows girls to broaden their horizons, expand their knowledge, and connect with like-minded peers who share their curiosity and enthusiasm. The Girls in STEM event fosters an inclusive environment that encourages collaboration, mentorship, and building lasting friendships. Through engaging activities and discussions, girls will hopefully realise that their unique perspectives and talents are essential in shaping the future of innovation.
