Sarah Moran is CEO and co-founder of Girl Geek Academy, a movement to help inspire one million women in technology and launch their own startups by 2025.
Sarah established Girl Geek Academy in 2014 alongside her four fellow co-founders, Lisy Kane, Tammy Butow, Amanda Watts and April Staines, as a place to learn, connect and inspire change.
Girl Geek Academy hosts programs for girls from the age of five right through to 95+ to inspire a generational shift in the way political leaders, schools, young girls and professional women think about and practice technology.
Girl Geek Academy has trained more than 1000 teachers in #MissMakesCode, the world's first hackathon for girls aged five to eight. That equates to a reach of more than 10,000 students in Australia now exposed to STEM education from the age of five.
Most recently the tram created Girl Geeks, a four-book series published by Penguin Random House's Puffin line to get young women who love tech into popular culture.
