Women in Engineering and IT Hands on Day Program for Girls! #girls #gurls #engineering #geekgirl

This year’s Women in Engineering and IT Hands on Day Program will be held at UTS Broadway Campus, (Sydney) [Australia] for schools on Friday  27 April and Friday 17 August : the aim is to make links for female students between the experience of technology studies, practice and research, and providing information on specific fields, courses and scholarships for school leavers.

It is a full day of Hands on Fun and most importantly, it is ‘GIRLS Only!’ Please read more about past Hands on Days here:

To support planning for 2012 you are invited to encourage your daughters and nieces to attend and we encourage you  to discuss this event with their relevant school departments (Science/Maths/Technology/HSIE) and take advantage of the opportunity to register up to 30 students from these cohorts (Years 8-12) for both Hands on Days. We especially welcome students of diverse backgrounds, areas of interest and aptitudes. As well as those with aptitude in Maths and Sciences, successful engineers and IT professionals can start out with strong interests and ability in Geography, Geology, Design & Technology, Visual Arts and Agriculture. Students can attend by themselves if they have parents’ permission and the school is not willing to bring a group. We will be responsible for the welfare of students between the hours of 8:30am-3:15pm.

Previous Hands on Days have engaged many students with the prospects of engineering and IT as a choice of study and career. It is also a great opportunity for high school students to network with current engineering and IT students and hear from industry professionals, as they gain insights into university life.
