A group of Years 9 -11 girls and Mr Honeysett travelled to the South Eveleigh precinct and the Commonwealth Bank offices to attend the fabulous 2025 Girls in Tech event.
Keynote speakers and Panelists included Ly Lien (MC - CommBank), Nivaaz Sehmbhi (Founder@Sukara Tech), Lina Kim (Cochlear), Zahra Hadi (Cochlear), Paula Nolan (CommBank), Holly Takos (CommBank), Myrna Kennedy (Commbank) and Arushi Agrawal (CommBank).
Students were able to immerse themselves in a variety of Technology Exhibitions including: Unleash the Power of Robotics with Telstra; Artificial with CommBank; Cyber Security; Engineering and Design with Cochlear; Career Pathways; Science and Engineering with Macquarie University.
Students were also able to join a Biomedical Engineering Workshop by UTS Women in Engineering and IT. They were able to collaborate in teams to ideate and rapidly prototype solutions for Alzheimer's. This hands-on session combined human-centered design with rapid prototyping, encouraging brainstorming, designing, and refining ideas. The workshop offered a unique opportunity to collaborate, experiment, and bring concepts to life particularly if students were passionate about healthcare innovation or exploring STEM.
Thank you to CommBank and their supporting partners for enabling our students to understand what the future of Tech looks like, engage in the processes and the vast career opportunities available.
