Changemak(H)er: Advancing Diversity in the tech world

On the occasion of International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Australian Pavilion goes deeper in exploring how encouraging more women and girls to take their legitimate place in science, tech, engineering, and mathematics is not only possible but also for the greater good of us all.

We look forward to getting together to discuss how we ensure that greater numbers of gifted young women pursue careers and leadership roles in engineering and tech industries.

Lisa Harvey, the Australian Government Women in STEM Ambassador will be participating virtually as we discuss the important questions Why is lack of gender diversity in science an issue and why should we care? What are some of the factors creating barriers for women and girls when trying to access the science and tech fields today? Are there parts of the world, or certain sectors, where the gender balance is reversed?
