What is the Girls' Programming Network (GPN)?

  • The GPN is a workshop series for girls in Years 6-12.
  • It is a community of women and girls interested in computer science, programming, and information technology.
  • The workshops are led by GPN tutors and local women studying or working in IT across industry, academia, and government.
  • In the workshop, girls will use coding skills to play a game of ‘Guess Who’? using a software package called Replit. Students of all skill levels are welcome—whether new to Python or already proficient. Tutors will cover the basics for beginners and introduce advanced concepts for those with more experience.
  • The Australian Signals Directorate has a long-standing relationship with the GPN and supports the Canberra node of this fantastic program.
  • The workshops are free, and no prior coding experience is required.
