The Girls' Programming Network

Students learning

Want to learn how computers really work?
Want to write programs that do what you want?
Want to improve your programming skills for Software Design and Development?
Want to meet other girls also interested in IT?
Then the Girls' Programming Network is for you!

The next GPN meeting is on Sunday, 1st of July, from 10am to 4pm.
We'll be looking at Computers from the ground up, exploring how computers really work. We'll look at everything from transistors and logic gates to how the CPU executes commands right up to how progamming languages like Python work.
If you're interested in coming along, sign up and we'll be in contact, or join our mailing list for information on future sessions. Please make sure you have confirmation from a tutor before coming along! Email us if you have any questions!

The following GPN workshop will be held on Saturday, August 11th, and we'll be diving head first into the NCSS Challenge.

The Girls' Programming Network (GPN) is run by girls and for girls. The tutors are a mix of University IT students (from the University of Sydney and others) as well as professional software engineers. GPN is targeted at high-school girls who are interested in IT.

When you come to GPN you'll meet the tutors (us!) and other students and learn the basics of computer programming in Python as well as cool bits of computer science. We'll also have fun, eat food and do some other activities.

Each term we run a one day workshop on a new topic. We've written games, made interactive websites and taken apart computers! Check out the past, present and future projects to see what girls have done, and what you could be doing!
