[vet-it] Girls and Computing -- from Deakin University

[Italiano, Maria C]

Hi all,

I strongly encourage you all to take as many girls along to this expo as
possible from year 9-11. I took 80 girls along the last time this event
ran and it was excellent. All the girls gave it great reviews and said
that it made them look at IT in a different light, particularly as a
career prospect:-)

Kind regards,

Girls and Computing
I am interested in making contact with any primary or secondary
teachers who are implementing programs ( small or large) which
attempt to specifically engage girls in thinking and working
positively with computers.  I can be contacted via email at
acraig at deakin.edu.au or by phone on 52272152.

Go Girl, Go for IT
On October 24 and 25 Deakin University will be hosting the Go Girl,  Go
for IT for girls in Years 9 to 12.  This expo gives the
opportunity for young girls, who are starting their journey of
choosing a career, to see IT as an exciting, creative and fun career
path. The Go Girl Expo provides an interactive experience not only  for
the girls but also school career advisors and teachers. The
program provides a diverse range of topics and forums that will
change mindsets that exist regarding the IT industry. And best of all  ,
it's free to attend! Please refer to

Many thanks
