What is STEAMpunk Girls?
STEAMpunk Girls is a unique interdisciplinary educational program working at the intersection of high schools, industry and the university. The program aims to empower young women aged 12 to 16 to be equipped for the future workforce by fostering the growth of an entrepreneurial mindset, and supporting young people to develop their transversal and STEAM skills including critical and innovative thinking, problem-solving, and numeracy and literacy skills.
The STEAMpunk Girls program works with innovative, enthusiastic teachers to deliver a core program which exposes young women to the STEAM fields, female role models, new ways of thinking, and emerging tech. Participants apply their skills and experiences to developing a project in response to a problem in their local community. Utilising project-based learning, STEAMpunk Girls supports the participants to apply these experiences and a STEAM mindset to developing a project in response to a problem in their local community.
Our STEAMpunk Girls pilot saw 64 female high school students from across Sydney develop projects responding to problems in their community.
