OUR MISSION
We aim to inspire a love of learning with young people about
technology and support their journeys to first work experiences. We
believe it is critical to create an engaging and inclusive environment
for girls, which are under-represented in both STEM and in leadership
roles.
We're on a mission to build a sustainable education programme offering
skills development and work opportunities for boys and girls of any
age through a co-funded model with socially responsible businesses,
educational organisations, and government.
This digital camp is a pilot that we hope will enable us to launch an
ongoing programme. We greatly value your support and feedback.
SPONSORS & SUPPORTERS
This camp is made possible thanks to the sponsorship support of
VODAFONE. We are also grateful to receive the support volunteers
from MICROSOFT and many members of the technical and education
community.
