Brisbane Events

60 girls, 11 Scientists and a ridiculous amount of inspiration. The recent 21st Century Scientist event left everyone suitably exhausted but with a verified belief that girls in STEM really are changing the world.

We were SUPER EXCITED to introduce our new GSF.Connect platform at an exciting launch event held at The Precinct in Brisbane last week, designed to connect young women from both metropolitan and regional areas with inspirational women from around the world.

60 girls, 3 CEOs, 3 Founders, 7 hours of power! The CEO Series was an ENORMOUS day filled with questions and answers, interactive workshops, inspiring stories and real-world guidance. (Oh and then there was the amazing food…!)  We were so thrilled to see all of the girls make the most of their time with the Extraordinary Women there to work with them, and many went home with photos, email addresses and LinkedIn connections to call upon in the future.

With a happy sigh and a smile we put together the following short recap of what was on offer, and now look to 2018 with even MORE fire in our bellies!  Roundtables! All Day Workshop Series Events! Launch of our FUELme Mentoring Program! It’s all happening and it’s going to be awesome.

On November 3rd, an eager bunch of girls participated in FUEL’s first workshop: Stress, Your Mind & Your Muscles hosted by Science of Fitness. Decked out in their fitness gear ready to dive in, the girls were introduced to workshop host, Rory, who took them by surprise with his fast facts about why the brain is the most important factor in exercise, and how it can be utilised to reduce levels of stress and anxiety.

On October 31st we kicked off our 2017 events with triple Olympic gold medalist, Stephanie Rice OAM. It was an amazing night with every audience member left buzzing and ready to chase after their own dreams.
