Tech team: Lucina Popovski, 11, Jasmin Ninic, 11, Lili Ninic, 9, Zoe Popovski, 9, and Ruby Ninic, 8, developed an app that connects unwanted goods to community organisations.
They’re young, talented and proving that the girls are gutsy in the world of technology.
Danebank Anglican School for Girls and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School pupils have been part of a Tech Girls Superhero competition that runs across Australia and New Zealand.
The three-month competition saw the group of friends from year 2-6 matched with a female mentor from the IT industry who met weekly with the team.
During this time they identified an existing problem in the community, researched and documented a solution in a structured business plan, and built a working app prototype called Giving Goodness.
The app links donations of unwanted items to organisations including women’s shelters, The Salvation Army and Indigenous associations.
