Technology Takes You Anywhere 2010

This year's TTYA event in July was a huge success!
With over 400 girls attending from around 15 schools from all over Brisbane, we had a great time. The girls got to try out creating some Flash animations, did some programming with Alice, and got to hear from a bunch of role models in the industry, just to name a few things.

Check out the blog posts of some of our presenters to find out more:

Happy International Womens Day 2010!

To all of your fabulous gals out there, I hope you are celebrating your achievements today. You deserve it!

I was fortunate to be invited to present at the Public Trustee in the Brisbane CBD for their IWD morning tea. I was alongside some inspiring women:

Linda Lavarch - Research Fellow at the Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies and former Attorney General and Minister for Justice
Kerrin Benson - CEO Multicultural Development Association
Alana Pelly - Cancer Survivor - Queensland Cancer Council

About 80 attended, and all received a free copy of the Tech girls book. There was a big line of people for autographs, so much fun :) I was treated to lunch at customs house on the river, and received the biggest bunch of flowers ever! Very special day :)
