Founded in 2016, UNSW Women In Technology (WIT) is a network of 900+ students with similar interests and goals surrounding STEM, and has grown into a platform to support and encourage diversity within the technology industry. WIT is proud of its innovative and positive environment, whereby long term connections and friendships are made, helping to play a part in removing the gender imbalance that exists in the sector.
WIT intends to serve the dual purpose of empowering current students interested in technology, as well as encouraging high school students to pursue a future in technology. We hold many events throughout the year to assist with the transition into STEM by holding introductory courses, hackathons and case competitions.
