“On Gaming and Social Change” is an online webinar that will celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March.

It features former League of Geeks producer Lisy Kane alongside RMIT Professor Larissa Hjorth and developer Caitlin Cronin and kicks off from 12.00 pm AEDT on Tuesday 8 March. The webinar promises to “feature some of the industry’s top female game makers and thinkers, exploring how games and interactive technologies are shaping our future.”

The event coincides with “Code Breakers” tour of the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum between 5-15 March. You can learn more about the exhibition here.

“We are excited to host Code Breakers at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum,” said Yarra Ranges Deputy Mayor Cr Johanna Skelton. “The exhibition offers a brilliant opportunity to bring focus to the achievements of women in creative technologies, as well as exploring the positive social impacts of gaming and its narrative, educational and artistic potentials.”
