Alexia is in Christchurch thanks to the generosity of EPIC Innovation, led by Wil McLellan and Colin Andersen. EPIC is committed to lifting participation of young people in technology and as a result of their support, Alexia is able to offer 10 Changemakeher workshops free to Christchurch.
Alexia will be at Rangi Ruru 2.30pm – 3.30pm on Monday 2nd July to speak to 110 Y12 girls, with approx. 30 other parents/teachers and students in attendance.
She will then be back at Rangi on Wednesday 4th of July to do two 2 hour Changemakeher workshops with Year 10 and 11 students.
This would be a good photo opportunity, seeing the girls participating in the workshops. It is interactive and a lot of fun!
Wednesday 4th July is a day Alexia is best placed for media interviews as she will have just arrived back from London from the Queens Young Leader Awards and will need some time to re-charge her batteries.
