Go Girl Go for IT
Poster Competition
May 2015
What is Go Girl, Go for IT?
The Poster
The declining number of females studying business/IT or IT
at a tertiary level indicates that too many girls just aren’t
The A3 poster must include the following:
a computer generated design (we are about IT after all)
the date & location of the 2016 event
the original Go Girl Head logo
the original Women in IT logo
a hashtag line to help promote the Go Girl showcase
event in social media e.g. #ITisit was a past hashtag
margins of 2.6in/8cm on an A3 size layout
The poster may be either portrait or landscape
aware of the opportunities a career in IT can bring – or the
important skills they have to bring to this industry. “Go Girl”
aims to debunk the myth that a career in IT will be boring and
is only sought out by “nerds” with no personality!
Go Girl, Go for IT is a free IT career showcase run by the
Victorian ICT for Women network for all Secondary School
Girls to experience the incredible range of vocational
avenues that are available in IT.
The next Go Girl showcase is to be held at:
The Fine Print
Deakin University, Burwood Campus, August 2016
-
At Go Girl, 2016, students will hear from and have the
opportunity to talk to talented young and well established role
-
models with ICT careers. There will be access to a wealth of
information that will assist students in making informed
-
decisions about a career in IT.
