STEM Conference for Regional Girls 2026
After the huge success of our 2025 pilot event, OzGREEN is elated to be bringing the STEM Conference for Regional Girls to the Mid North Coast again in 2026!
This event will see 138 female and non-binary students from regional public schools come together for an inspiring day of hands-on learning, career discovery and connection with trailblazing women in STEM.
We are currently seeking event sponsors to help bring this transformative event to life.
The future is not a place we are going,
but one we are creating.
