- Launch of the Tech Girls Movement and our new website in February 2014
The new Tech Girls Movement website is here! You will find all you need to know about TGM’s mission and our activities for 2014.
In late 2013, the Tech Girls Movement was born. Set up as a non-profit company, it’s main aim is to raise awareness of information technology careers and the need for greater diversity in the information technology workforce. The Tech Girls Movement provides a sisterhood for girls to join, empowering them to create their own future in the technology industry. Activities include creating female tech characters (archetypes) to promote in the media, having a strong online social media presence, producing and distributing a hard copy and e-book, an app, mobile games, an online weekly radio tech show, school visits across Australia and more.
