National ICT Careers Week

As part of National ICT Careers Week, I was invited to present at a number of Brisbane schools about ICT Careers, and to give away Tech girls are chic books.

I presented at Cannon Hill Anglican College on Tuesday to year 12 girls, and St. Aidans Anglican Girls College today (pics here) to year 10 girls (and so great their teacher has been promoting our book and had the downloadable screensaver on many of the school computers in previous weeks, so many of the girls had actually heard about the book before they met me!) I will be going to Sunnybank State High School tomorrow to present with the Office for Women. What a busy week! :) Thanks to all the girls who attended, and their teachers for inviting me :)

Sydney Writers Centre wants us!

Great news, we have been invited to do a podcast with the Sydney Writers Centre. They love our website and that each of our tech girls wrote a fiction story. They are interested in what inspired us to include fiction as part of our book. I (Jenine) am going to do the interview on the 15th September and the podcast will be made available. I will keep you posted!

Aint gonna hold us back now....must see video!

I see so many great links every day and usually post them here. But I had to blog about this one. A great video with voices from young girls chanting 'we are digital' and 'you aint gonna hold us back now' - very powerful, a must see!

have fun - Jenine  :)

Geek Girl Dinner in Brisbane 28 August

I recently met a fellow tech girl who also thought there was a need to have somewhere for us Brisbane tech girls to network, meet and catchup. So we are bringing Geek Girl Dinners to Brisbane! GGD has been a really successful way for tech women to get together around the world, so join us to make our first Brisbane Geek Girl Dinner a success too!

The idea is that you come along, pay for your own dinner and network and have fun!
