Just spent the day tutoring for the Girls Programming Network, an awesome organization that tries to redress the imbalance in tech by providing a safe place for girls to learn.

It was a terrific day with a keen bunch of high schoolers and an awesome bunch of volunteer tutors.

The workshops happen 4 times a year in most Australian capitals. More info at
