✨ The Women in Creative Technologies (WiCT) team is back in South Australia!

We’re continuing our mission to narrow the gender gap in the tech industry by nurturing the next generation through women-led workshops and showcasing inspiring women in tech as role models.😉

This marks our first collaboration with the City of West Torrens ,where we hosted a 3D modelling workshop for over 20 participants. Their creations will soon come to life through 3D printing at the local library!👩‍💻✨👀

Seeing everyone dive into their creativity, experiment fearlessly, and discover that tech truly is for everyone reminds us why we do what we do. When we embrace mistakes and stay curious, innovation naturally follows.

WiCT is already preparing our next workshop with another city council!
If you’d love to bring a WiCT workshop to your community, reach out to us — we’d love to collaborate! 💪💜
