About the Event
The City of Mandurah is proud to support GoSH Peel 2025 — WA’s biggest regional tech and innovation event for young people.
Held over two exciting days, GoSH is all about showcasing future skills, inspiring young minds, and opening up new career pathways through innovation, creativity, and hands-on learning. The event is free and open to all students across the Peel region — from Year 1 through to Year 12.
GoSH focuses on the future — with emerging technologies, real-world challenges, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals as inspiration. It’s a chance for students to learn from leading innovators, get creative with problem-solving, and see just how far their ideas can take them.
What is GoSH?
GoSH stands for Gathering of Stories and Hackers. It’s a two-day event made for regional youth and built around three key experiences:
- Day 1 – Peel GoSHowcase
- Day 2 – Peel Primary GoSHackathon (Years 6 and under)
- Day 2 – Peek Secondary GoSHackathon (Years 7–12)
Whether you’re into coding, building, science, or just love big ideas, GoSH helps young people explore what’s possible — and shows that innovation can start right here in our own community.
