The New Zealand Game Developers Association is running a free two day event in Auckland from Friday 13-Saturday 14th July to help inform and encourage young women about careers in interactive media in a non threatening environment.
The last event run a couple of years ago was very successful, drawing in 150 attendees. This year there is a great speaker lineup which includes a number of strong male and female role models. Although the event is skewed slightly towards females, it is completely open for males and all age groups to attend (the last event had a 50/50 mix).
The event is free of charge and registration is essential. To view the programme and register your interest see the online registration and programme.
With New Zealand's youth rapidly increasing their digital awareness, and girls showing they aren't afraid to have a go, the games and graphics industry is thriving.
Join New Zealand's Game Development Community as they converge on Auckland's Town Hall to celebrate our most digitally advanced creative industry. With two jam-packed days of National and International speakers, G3 will be both interactive and spectacularly informative.
The event is free of charge and registration is essential. To view the programme and register your interest, please follow this link http://www.shoko.co.nz/g3/
Note: This is something I saw during my travel through other peoples blogs dealing with education. I am just working out how to get into the event on Friday and Saturday. I have registered
