Girl Geek Academy

Girl Geek Academy presents a fabulous experience full of fun, developing friendships and learning to code where girls and women* will learn together! #MissMakesCode is the first initiative in the world created to build confidence and self-efficacy in the areas of algorithmic thinking, programming and coding for young girls aged 5–8 years.

After meeting with Girl Geek Academy, the group will split for the first hour. Each group (women and girls) will make learn tech and coding with their peers. The groups will then join to use their new skills to make a game together. We will also be discussing gender equality with a representative from Women's Health East.

This is a fabulous opportunity for women to experience coding alongside their girls, as well as the ability speak openly about cyber safety and gender equality issues. We will also provide you with the access and advice about the resources attendees need to continue coding at home.

Normally valued at $149, thanks to our partners these workshops are free! We warmly welcome anyone who identifies as a women or non-binary. The #MissMakesCode Women & Girls Program is supported by the Victorian Government and presented in partnership with Women's Health East.
