Want to learn fun new tech things and make new friends just like you? The Girl Geek Academy workshops are designed for you!

Our online classes for Girl Geeks ages 9+ are hosted by our skilled Girl Geek Academy team leaders and they are a great way to learn new tech skills.

We’re running these workshops every weekend, from 9:30-10:30am (AEST).

We’ll cover a range of tech skills and interests, ranging from learning new ways to learn coding, building your own fun games, art and so much more.

This environment has been created as a safe space for girls to connect with each other and learn together, supported by an experienced team as they learn and grow. The facilitator will use a camera, but the participants will not - everything will be done over chat. It's super fun and emoji are very welcome 😍

You will need a computer to complete the activities for this workshop - unfortunately a tablet doesn't offer the flexibility we need to support classes at this stage as we need to use multiple windows. So find yourself a computer and get ready to roll 👩🏾‍💻👩🏻‍💻👩🏿‍💻👩🏼‍💻👩🏽‍💻
