Thinking Beyond the Code: Design Thinking Workshop

Are you a first or second-year woman in Computing looking for a creative break from coding-heavy courses? Join us for a free workshop in a safe and welcoming space designed for women in Computing at UQ.

This session is more than a study break — it’s a chance to be part of a supportive community of women in Computing. In a relaxed environment, you’ll explore how design thinking can expand your problem-solving toolkit and boost your confidence.

Led by UQ Ventures' Sarah Abdulkhalek and David Elchuk, this workshop will show how combining Design Thinking with your technical skills can help you develop impactful software solutions — the kind that truly matter to the people who use them. These skills don’t just support your coursework; they also open doors to career pathways where creativity, collaboration, and innovation are highly valued, from software development to entrepreneurship.

You’ll leave with practical skills, inspiration for your career, and the support of a growing community of women in tech at UQ.
