Launch - tech week event for girls

Balmacewen Intermediate had 5 teams of girls take part in the Launch event which was part of the range of activities available for Tech Week at the end of May. It was an event organised by Hatch Education to encourage girls into technology as an area to make an impact in the world.

There were 24 teams of intermediate and high school girls from 8 schools. Students worked on software solutions to community-based problems. By the end of the day they all had working prototypes of apps and websites to share. Our Balmacewen students designed solutions for mental health, getting kids to do chores, helping kids to get fit and stay fit, and a recycling solution. We have a bright future in the hands of these young people!
