Typically hosted by a tech-related company, the events involve keynote speakers who share their passion for science and technology, what brought them into the field, and the experiences, challenges and successes they have faced.
She# currently has over 700 active members in Auckland alone and this can only grow as we expand nationwide.
She Sharp is managed entirely by volunteers. All funding we receive goes directly towards the operational costs of She# and our events (including catering and event promotion), and website maintenance.
It will also support us with our ambition of establishing She# nationwide. We aspire to extend our platform to girls and women in other cities including Wellington and Christchurch, where there has already been significant interest from companies.
