1st Global Editathon "Girls in ICT" - Kenya Node

4/27/2018

Africa, Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya

15 participants

Creating content written by women and about women on the Girls in ICT Day, mainly to make women in technology more visible and to inspire girls to pursue STEM careers. On that day, we will edit the biographies of women: founding, pioneers, entrepreneurs, developers and leaders in technology from the region.

What is important about this Global Editathon "Girls in ICT" is that the biographies will be created by women in their native language as a way to increase linguistic diversity on the Internet. 

We also aim to promote digital content that allows girls and women to get to know other women who are ICT pioneers in Kenya and Africa or that are making a difference in their communities by using the Internet.

Organized from the Internet Society Women's Special Interest Group, Wikimedia Foundation and the ISOC Chapters, Championed by Miss Edna Karijo (ISOC Kenya Chapter) and hosted at eMobilis.
