A technology festival has been teaching more than 100 girls about coding and other modern skills.
More than 100 Manx brownies learned about coding, policing and engineering at an event to encourage girls to work in science and technology.
Supported by a local bank, the event saw brownies and guides investigate a staged crime scheme using fingerprint analysis, try out immersive technology with virtual reality headsets and learn how to code. "Engineering underpins everything we do in society and these events are crucial to increase engagement for girls and create a more equal sector in the future", she said.Ms Simpson said the girls' desire to pursue careers as astronauts, police, teachers and scientists in the future showed "the true impact of what they heard and experienced".
