VUWWIT (Victoria University of Wellington Women in Tech) is a student-led group for women and gender diverse students studying computer science, engineering, and STEM subjects. Diversity is our passion and our purpose. We want to make sure girls are getting the opportunity to learn about technology in a fun and inclusive environment, so we thought we would do our part by hosting a Tech Day for Girls for Year 12 and Year 13 students!
Our aims with this outreach day are to:
- Introduce female students to Engineering and Computer Science at VUW
- Expose students to the fun and challenging activities in tech
- Encourage students to consider study or a career in STEM
We will do programming with robots, testing your hacking skills, and have a play around with creating your own processing game. Lunch is provided for free.
Teachers, parents, and guardians may accompany students. Please note on the registration form if a teacher, parent or guardian is intending on attending (for catering and safety purposes).
If you are organizing a group of attendees, please fill out this form regarding chaperones and safety measures.

We ask that you give us at least one week's notice (before 28 June) if you need to withdraw from this event to prevent being charged a cancellation fee.
This event is sponsored by Google and Xero. All students will receive a free goodie bag.
Come along for an awesome day of tech!
