Follow up on Sunnybank High School - Make or Break Conference

I was lucky enough to be invited to present at Sunnybank State High School's 'Make or Break Womens Conference' last Friday. I was part of a session chaired by Alix Winter from the Office for Women, and presented to 6 different groups of year 8/9 girls alongside Radmila Desic who is an Industry Engagement Officer for Construction Skills Qld, and also has a trade in construction (she can build houses!), and alongside Carlie Wright, who works for Brisbane City Council and is the only female plumbing inspector in Australia,  - pretty impressive huh! All girls got a free copy of Tech girls are chic, not just geek.

The entire day was organised by an amazing girl named Jamie, who is the School Captain and visionary behind the day to inspire the younger girls at her school. Well done Jamie for doing such an amazing job. It was a fabulous day.
