Renee is a passionate women in tech advocate, spending her spare time leading the Girls' Programming Network to support women and girls in tech. She also runs her own business, ConnectEd Code, working to bring exciting coding opportunities to kids and teachers. Beside teaching and tech she loves swing dancing, cats, and having a ridiculous number of plants. Guest Speaker Amanda Hogan Amanda came to a realization that she wanted something more out of life while working at Microsoft and took the opportunity to retrain as a teacher and hasn't regretted it for a second. Since starting in teaching she has taught all senior years in the computing subjects. She has also had the unique opportunity to gain insight into the art and science of teaching by assisting fabulous teachers in most faculties in schools to use technology in their classrooms. She has had the opportunity to work with many different aspects of the running of the school as an IT consultant from student leadership to database and web design. She also gets to occasionally play with robots and make computer games and watch students' eyes light up when they do the same. She has a side focus of teacher professional learning through her association with ICT educators of NSW and with her work with the Australian Computing Academy. She should probably get around to writing that textbook.
