Go Girl - A tech conference for young girls
Go Girl, Go for IT is a fun, free 1-day technology conference for girls in years 5-12 across Australia held alternate years.
We’ve commenced planning our next event to be held in 2025.
A common perception is that 'IT' means coding. Go Girl challenges that view by showcasing different STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers and alternatives. It aims to excite and engage female school students by introducing them to the wider opportunities.
The one-day event focuses on inspiring students with fantastic role model speakers, showcasing technology of the future and challenging any preconceptions of what a career in STEM might look like. It opens up the possibilities of following careers in everything from AI, user design to cybersecurity (just to name a few!).
Dozens of hands-on workshops, presentations and discussions provide girls with the right kinds of information to help them discover what a career in STEM could mean for them. Participants will walk away understanding whether they want to pursue a career in STEM.
