The key stakeholders will include students, girls in tech and youths in Pakistan.The first session will feature a hands-on mobile app development Tech4Girls workshop within the framework of the EQUALS Global Partnership for Gender Equality in the Digital Age and it will be supported by GSMA, W4, ITU, CodeGirls and the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication Pakistan. The EQUALS Tech4Girls workshop series aim to make younger females feel welcome and empowered in the tech and mobile industries by overcoming gender barriers in relation to access and use of digital technologies. Within this context, EQUALS Tech4Girls Mobile Apps workshops enable a critical mass of women to leverage technology and to address personal and local challenges. The Initiative’s comprehensive training also involves boosting self-confidence and creativity, breaking stereotypes and gender norms and enjoying the act of learning. Building mobile apps gives girls and young women a glimpse of the booming app industry and lets them experience creating something with technology. The goal of this workshop is to teach girls and young women a new set of digital skills that help them shift from just consuming information to becoming digital creators. In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of creating mobile applications through the usage of Thunkable. The project of the mobile application is to create an electronic book that represents women in STEM role models across various countries in South Asia. In this workshop participants will:● Get introduced to the Thunkable components, and how they can use them.● Learn how to design mobile apps user interface by inserting media files (video, audio, image, and animation files).● Learn the basics of Object-Oriented, and how to use the logic to accomplish the application tasks.● Learn how to store and retrieve data.● Install their first applications on their own smartphone (IOS, Android or any platform).Participation Requirements:Participant Profile: Girls and young women ages 18 - 30 Prerequisite Knowledge:• Familiarity with Windows• Internet Browser• Email• Browsing websitesTechnology Requirements to attend the Mobile App development Workshop:● Laptop or desktop computer with Internet Connection● Smartphone and phone cable to connect phone with laptop or desktopcomputer● An E-mail account / GmailTraining Delivery Method: Instructor-Led (In-Class or Online with Live Instructor) Duration: 7 HoursThe second session will invite students and girls in tech to join the ITU presentation on Child Online Protection on Safety on the Internet for girls and young women. Online technologies present many possibilities for children and young people to communicate, learn new skills, be creative and contribute to establishing a better society. Protecting children is a common responsibility and it is up to all relevant stakeholders to ensure a sustainable future for all. For that to happen, policy-makers, the private sector, parents, carers, educators, and other stakeholders, must ensure that children can fulfill their potential – online and offline. Parents, guardians, and educators also have a responsibility to ensure that children and young people are utilizing Internet sites safely and responsibly. In order to respond to these growing challenges in the face of rapid development of ICTs, the Child Online Protection (COP) Initiative, a multi-stakeholder international initiative launched by ITU in November 2008, continues to bring partners together from all sectors of the global community to create a safe and empowering online experience for children and young people around the world. It sets out guidelines for all relevant stakeholders including children and young people in all parts of the world on how to keep themselves and others safe online.All sessions will be delivered in Urdu and English.
