2021 Australian Primary School National Winners
Did you know women in Australia make up more than 50% of the workforce but hold less than 30% of key leadership positions? Increasing women in leadership would reduce the gender pay gap, improve company performance and reduce gender inequality.
We found there were no apps that encourage young girls to become leaders so we created ‘Girltastic’!
Aimed at 6-10 year old girls, ‘Girltastic’ builds confidence and leadership skills through 4 menu options:
• ‘Girls can Lead!’ – Describes leadership skills.
• ‘Fun Challenges’ – Builds leadership skills through challenges.
• ‘Inspiring Stories’ – Shares leadership experiences.
• ‘Websites with more’ – Provides links to websites encouraging girls in leadership, e.g. Techgirls.
‘Girltastic’ aims to develop leadership skills and prevent gender biases from a young age, so girls know they can lead now and in the future!
