Keynote 3
Rosie & Lucy Thomas - Project Rockit
Cyber safety & Cyberbullying, hate & prejudice.
Hmmm, is this a new thing or has it built up over the decades? It's good that we recognise the fact that such thing exists, nevertheless, are we progressing or is it becoming worse? Is it making a difference in society from what we are facing in our own backyard? Break-ins, lose convicted criminals, family abuse, etc? Every bit of new technology that has its initial purpose to help humans, all of a sudden becomes a tool for evil. These girls work with kids and give a "solution to the problem". "An illness created by us humans". "Insecurity, narcissism." Things that need to be taught.
Project Rockit online is an App. It is an online management system. The App send encouragement notes to friends.
Empower the bystander.
There's a lot of questions and issues in this world that can't be answered. I know the answer lies with Jesus, the heart of man is forever sinful.

Keynote
Janine Beekhuyzeen
Speaking mostly about women in Technology. Reason for girls not being involved in IT is lack of role models, family, counsellors. Need a multiple number of these factors to overcome this problem. Socier]th has created this problem. Not having qualified IT teachers in the schools is a problem.unconscious bias.
She's now going through some history about women in IT. Three main women.
A pink book for girls about IT. Really big push for girls in IT. I'm just wondering if the push has been enough to move girls to do IT. Is this segregationist? Just thinking whether boys and girls should be encouraged to do IT, even though we know that the industry is male dominated. at our school, we don't have any girls who are really interested in IT.
Building appropriate solutions for an important problem.
There is an emphasis on girls be becoming super heroes.
Some people were catching Pokemon during the sessions.
There's a an emphasis on how women are treated I the industry, words like "invisible".
