ShadowTech Day 2024 – Don’t miss out!
Kia ora
Experience a tech career with ShadowTech Day 2024. We’re offering girls in years 9-11 an opportunity to discover the world of tech and explore tech career pathways.
We’re showcasing real roles, because we know there’s a tech job to suit everyone. Matched with local tech companies, students will gain hands-on experiences to imagine their future career.
Here’s what students and teachers say about ShadowTech Day:
“It was amazing to learn how welcoming a place a job in tech is and how people from so many different diverse backgrounds can work there.”
“It was really helpful learning about where you would start when working in the tech industry and the different things you can go into from there. I also enjoyed learning about imposter syndrome and cyber attacks/hacking.”
“It was a great day for our learners, the honest conversations the speakers had with the students gave them a lot of insight into possible future careers as well as general career advice.” Shay Cowley, Te Kauwhata College.
We’re inspiring girls to join Aotearoa’s fastest growing and highest paid sector. Check out the highlights from ShadowTech Day 2023. Learn more.
