An event that brings high school girls closer to the IT sector and the possibilities of study, work and business that the world of modern technology offers them. The goal of the event is to introduce the world of IT and modern technologies to girls aged 15-19 and to show them what study, work or business opportunities the sector offers them. And so IT organizations, companies and universities open their doors on this day so that high school girls all over Slovakia can take a look into this dynamically developing world and assess with their own eyes the possible future career opportunities for girls in the sector.
