Event description

Join us for an inspiring evening that brings families, educators, students, parents, teachers, and industry leaders together to explore the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

This free community event is part of WiTWA’s Techtrails program and showcases how STEM skills are shaping the future — and why they matter right here in Port Hedland.

Our panel features voices from across education, industry, and community: WiTWA, Kinetic IT, ECU UniPrep School, and Sharon Wood-Kenny, Aboriginal Cultural Navigator. Together, they will share their career journeys, insights, and stories about how STEM learning connects to real opportunities and community impact.

No matter your background or experience, this event is for everyone. It’s about breaking down barriers, sparking curiosity, and making STEM accessible and exciting. Come along and discover how future skills can help create lasting local impact for Port Hedland’s students and community.

WiTWA is a Perth-based, not for profit organisation providing a framework for women in tech [+] to extend their networks and expand their knowledge on a broad range of professional topics. We encourage open conversation and inspire deliberation and debate. WiTWA wants to see more women in tech [+] roles and organisations in WA, and to progress those already in these careers as we achieve greater parity and equality. This is how we help make it happen: Encouraging young people to study STEM subjects through our Techtrails program, showing Year 9 and 10 students the diverse and varied jobs for all genders in tech [+] careers. We want to retain the women already in tech [+] careers. We do this by helping them connect with fellow supporters and providing networking and development opportunities through our suite of events: TechXChanges, Boardroom Series and our newly minted one-day conference, WiTWA [+]. Our supporters span across gender, industry and age and are committed to introducing women and young people to exciting and meaningful careers in tech, science and innovation. We want to champion tech [+] as viable, future focused and stimulating professions for young people to consider; and we want to support them in that pursuit – all while raising the status of women in Australian business and in all tech [+] industries.
