Ever wondered where studying maths and science at school can take you?

Come and experience Engineering at UNSW Canberra 

FREE Three-day workshop - January school holidays

• Build and fly a rocket and gas turbine engine
• Design, build and fly a satellite remotely
• Disassemble and reassemble an engine
• Solder and program a circuit

We are proud to present YoWIE, a three-day workshop held in January specifically for Young Women.

YoWIE is now in it’s fifth year at UNSW Canberra and is continuing to grow in popularity as more young women are joining us each year to experience what it’s like to be an engineer.

Our amazing hands-on workshops are designed to give our YoWIE’s a flavour of university level engineering and exposure to the development of skills that engineers need all while having fun of course! They will discover space, aeronautical, civil, electrical, mechanical and software engineering with awesome, hands on activities.

YoWIE’s will apply their high school maths and science skills to our cool activities and learn just how studying these subjects at school can help shape their future. Especially if they aspire to become an Engineer!

We encourage all female students going into years 9 to 12 to apply for our next round and discover their potential.

We promise three days of awesome activities with lots of fun. Our YoWIE’s will meet other like-minded young women and form lifelong friendships and bonds. They will meet innovative and inspirational female engineering guest speakers, current engineering students, recent engineering graduates and the most passionate staff to introduce them to a whole new world of wonder and opportunity! A career in engineering starts at YoWIE!
