Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired by women making a difference in the engineering industry.
What makes this program different?
It’s tailored to you
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. You’ll choose from a range of workshops, lab tours and experiences — from rocket building and nanomedicine to coding, energy and design thinking — so you can dive deeper into what genuinely interests you.
It challenges you
Work alongside other motivated students in hands-on sessions that stretch your thinking, build your confidence, and show you how engineering solves complex, real-world problems.
It connects you to what’s next
You’ll meet UQ students, academics, and industry professionals — and even visit a leading engineering organisation of your choice. Whether it’s aerospace, energy, infrastructure or innovation, you’ll see the pathways open to you.
It gives you a real taste of UQ
Explore world-class facilities, discover student life, and experience the kind of opportunities that make UQ the university of choice for women studying engineering in Queensland.
Parents are welcome too, and for FREE!
Your parents and carers are invited to join us on the first day for the Parents Coffee Session. Enjoy a relaxed coffee session to learn how to support your daughter or young women in pursuing a fulfilling engineering career.
Why join?
Because you’re not just thinking about university, you’re thinking about where you can thrive.
If you’re aiming high and want a university experience that matches your ambition, this is your chance to see what’s possible at UQ.
