We have a new online course called the Safe On Social Toolkit. Its all about keeping your kids safe online and we wanted to share it with you!
Cybersafety expert Kirra Pendergast has visited schools all over Australia and has given talks to more than 500,000 students, teachers and parents about how to stay safe and be smart online.
She’s not about bans, guilt trips or making parents feel ashamed or overwhelmed. Kirra is about helping kids and the adults in their lives protect themselves and avoid exploitation and bullying.
She joins Mia Freedman to discuss her own experience with cyberbullying, which led her to start a business that now helps thousands of kids to stay safe on social media.
Kirra and Mamamia have created the Safe On Social Toolkit - a resource for anyone who wants to keep their kids safe online.
Its an online course made up of short videos you can watch on your phone, that will answer every question you've ever had about how to stay safe and use social media in a positive way.
For more information on the course, how to sign up and how to keep your kids safe online, visit: www.safeonsocialtoolkit.com

We’ve got a brand new show at Mamamia called That’s Incredible and we wanted to share it with you!
It’s a podcast for parents and kids to listen to together all about the unexpectedly awesome things in the world around us.
Hosted by Andrew Daddo, each week we go on an adventure and explore topics like the human body, sport, music, science, technology and space. Plus, we'll find out what it's like to travel to the moon, sing in front of the Queen and climb to the top of Mount Everest!
In this episode we hear from tech futurist Steve Sammartino about what life will be like in 2050, we learn some awesome stuff about technology and play interactive games.
Ready? Let’s go!

ACTION ITEM
There’s an American guy who draws really elaborate inventions called, Rube Goldberg.
His device for washing a window involved leaving a banana skin on the floor so a man would trip on it, causing him to fall on a rake which tossed a horseshoe in the air which landed on a rope that tilted a watering can that wet a mop and woke up a dog who knocked over a sign that fell against the mop and made it wipe a window.
You can find his cool inventions here...https://www.rubegoldberg.com/rube-the-artist/gallery/
Do you reckon you could design something similar? It doesn’t have to be that complicated, maybe it’s just tying a hairbrush to your dog’s tail to make an automatic hair brushing machine when your dog wags its tail?
Use your imagination because that’s exactly what you need to be a good inventor!
Draw us a picture of your invention and send it into [email protected]. We’d love to see how your inventive mind works!

On the final episode of Ask Me Anything, we're talking about dealing with conflict.
It's an icky topic that even makes adults uncomfortable, but during your tween and teenage years, conflicts are incredibly common and part of life. But that doesn't make them any easier.
And Bec has some very handy tips on how to handle it all.
Ask Me Anything is the podcast for any girl in your life looking for answers. And the questions answered on today's show are:
There is a girl at school who has started hanging around my friends. She hasn’t asked to hang out with us - she has just turned up. My friend and I find her annoying but we don’t want to be mean. What do we do?
What do you do if you don’t have a tribe at school?
One of my friends has started making fun of me (about my hair) in front of other people? I really want her to stop.
Ask Me Anything is made possible by Suncorp Team Girls.
