About us
Women in Tech is led by Dr Jing (Julia) Ma who wants to support students studying in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) to build confidence, grow their networks and succeed in their field.
Her team brings together driven women from different backgrounds and positions, creating a strong community within AUT and connecting them with women already working in the industry.
Events are open to everyone – regardless or background or gender, whether you’re at high school, studying or already in the industry. Because making a difference in the representation of women in STEM takes all of us.
Our mission
Right now, women are still under-represented across engineering, technology, science and maths. These fields shape how we live – and they need more women and people of colour to help create developments that reflect and serve everyone, not just a small segment.
Our female students, staff and alumni show what’s possible. They’re already taking on key roles in industries that haven’t always made space for them – and changing them from within.
It doesn’t stop on campus. Through programmes with high school and primary school students, we’re helping more girls see themselves in these fields early.
Our core values
We encourage you to keep growing – building your strengths and branching into new skills across the STEM field through our mentoring programme
We support women to learn engineering, technology, science and mathematics
We help women grow their knowledge, back their potential and keep pushing forward
Mentorship in STEM starts here
Our mentoring programme connects women studying STEM with the people already shaping those industries.
