About this experience

This three day work experience program is a beginner friendly program so you can go at your own pace – no need to worry about getting left behind. And if you’re tech talented, you can move ahead as fast as you like. During the program you will learn to build an app using the Swift, the platform used for iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro and many more devices.

#SheHacks was the largest all-women hackathon in the world run by Girl Geek Academy back in 2014! It was an event focused on finding co-founders and building an MVP – Minimum Viable Product. We’ve adapted this to the high school work experience – learn skills, make friends and build apps!

Swift is an awesome and easy-to-learn programming language used to create apps for Apple devices. With its clear and expressive syntax, you’ll be bringing your ideas to life in no time!

This January school holidays in Sydney and Melbourne we’re running #SheHacksSwift for the second year, we’re super excited to see what you can build! You will need to commit to online workshops as pre-work before the workshop. Don’t worry, it’s fun!

Should you do a student exchange in high school?

September 17, 2026
A student exchange means spending a school term or more living with a host family and attending classes in another country while you’re still at high school. It also means missing time with friends, family, and your usual school year, which makes it a decision to think through carefully rather than jump into.
