Over two days, GoSH celebrates diversity as a catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship, unearthing talent and increasing awareness and access to future pathways for regional young people.

Day 1 The GoSHowcase - Friday

Day One is a major, youth-led event featuring industry experts, emerging technologies, hands-on innovation activities and stories of disruptive innovation. The GoSHowcase raises aspirations of regional young people and educators, increasing awareness of regionally-relevant future pathways via innovation.

All resources are provided along with some epic prizes.
