On Monday 24th August, AusRegistry and Neustar's Women in Tech group sponsored a coding workshop for 25 girls aged 5 to 8. The workshop, run by Girl Geek Academy, is the first hackathon program in the world created to build confidence and self efficacy in the areas of algorithmic thinking, programming and coding in young girls from 5-8 years of age.

The girls - all students of Queen of Peace Primary School in Altona Meadows - had no previous coding experience but progressed throughout the day through activities exploring the basics of programming.
