GIDGITS

Project G.I.D.G.I.T.S
Girls Into Doing Great Information Technology Society


GIDGITS was first developed in 2002 in the Far Northern Districts and has grown to become a statewide network for girls interested in doing great information technology.      

Gidgits now consists of two major parts:

- the Far North Qld Gidgits Chapter which coordinates events for girls in
   secondary schools throughout FNQ and
- the Go Go Gidgits Online Club for girls from throughout the state.

The Gidgits project aims to bring girls and their teachers together to enable them to explore learning opportunites in ICT's and potential career paths.  Successful events to date have included conferences, camps, workshops and role model breakfasts.    The project also has it's own website at www.gidgits.org.  This site has had over 33 000 hits since it was first launched in February 2003.
