This was clearly a great initiative and Brian assured us that it will be repeated. IYM is a technology and innovation programme for young women in the Wellington region, targeted at Year 11 and 12 students.A technology and innovation programme for young women in the Wellington region
Innovative Young Minds (IYM) is designed to attract and engage young women to the field of technology. Targeted at Year 11 and Year 12 students, IYM was a week-long residential programme that ran from 9-14 July, 2017.
It’s well known that diversity in the workplace leads to more innovation. Women are under-represented in the STEMM sector (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and manufacturing) and Hutt Science (a Hutt City Council initiative), Rotary Hutt City and Hutt Valley High School want to change that.
Congratulations to everyone who completed the 2017 programme on the 14th July. Details for 2018 will be posted by October.

You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.
For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.
With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.
