Orbispace Attends Future of Female Leadership Forum

Our Year 8 Orbispace students got to attend the Future of Female Leadership Forum at the Sydney Tech Central Hub earlier this week.

The students heard from Mathematics educators, angel investors and AI developers before sitting down to a networking lunch. There, they got to speak with mentors about career opportunities and educational pathways for women in STEM.

Beyond the forum, the girls got to tour Circular Quay, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. They also enjoyed Sydney fixture Pancakes on the Rocks for Dinner.

“I really enjoyed the lunch and listening women share their experiences working in male-dominated fields," explained student Adelle McClure.

“It was also great to explore the city with my friends,” adds student Jasmine Lymer.

The Orbispace girls will return to Sydney next term for the Pitch for the Planet Competition. Thank you to our Orbispace supervisor Caprice Skinner and bus driver Ken Townsing for facilitating this trip.
