Go Girl, Go for IT

On Wednesday 13th August, 19 of our Grade 5/6 girls joined me at Deakin University’s Burwood campus for the Go Girl, Go for IT conference. This event celebrates and promotes the role of girls and women in STEM, with the 2025 theme InspireHER – Creating a Bold Future with AI.

Throughout the day, the girls were inspired by industry leaders and experts, hearing powerful stories from women forging exciting careers in STEM. They took part in engaging workshops, explored a dynamic trade show, and connected with professionals from a wide range of fields. Along the way, they collected some great resources, promotional materials, and a few fun prizes.

It was a fantastic experience that not only broadened their understanding of STEM opportunities, but also sparked ideas for future careers – and perhaps even some new STEM-inspired hobbies.
