Inviting young women in the Central Highlands region of Victoria, to attend workshops at DNC, that will host cool gatherings for gurls* interested in tech.

Workshops available in 2018/2019 will assist participants understand the opportunities & diversity of emergent digital technologies. GGGRads founder, the original geekgirl, RosieX says: “My goal is to expose regional gurls to what's 'out there', whether it's an info session on IOT, Blockchain, AI or Machine Learning, we'll have fun learning about it!

Providing info sessions and hands-on workshops. Participants will be rewarded with Certificates & badges of honour.

Gurls* are women of all ages. :-)

Unlike Melbourne, few opportunities exist for gurls to attend a computer workshop in rural and regional areas. Although they may be exposed to computer classes at school there is constant change and innovation in technology, not included in the school curriculum. These workshops will present an opportunity for gurls to learn about the latest trends; that technology is more than social media and understand that there may be some exciting career paths in emergent technologies. We want to motivate gurls to keep learning and follow their passion and develop their own tech dreams.
