The GET Set Program (GET stands for 'Girls in Engineering & Technology') is a fun, free day of non-competitive activities designed for female students in years 11 and 12 who wish to explore the tertiary study options at ANU and career paths available in engineering and computing.

Some comments from previous participants of the GET Set Program:

    "It was great to get exposed to hands on area's information, rather than reading course information online. It was very helpful in determining my options."

    "The sessions were great, and they went for a perfect amount of time so we never got bored or tired."

    "I liked the fact that we got to go into different areas (of the University) and were able to talk to the people involved."

    "It was all very interesting, the activities were great and the presenters were fun to work with."

    "I really enjoyed learning about ways in which society is benefiting from engineering."
