Description of the event
Breaking Barriers: Let's hear from the girls themselves! The future is digital, and the opportunities within the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field are vast and ever-expanding. Yet, a concerning trend persists - young girls are significantly underrepresented in ICT education and careers. This panel discussion, titled "Breaking Barriers: Why Young Girls Don't Choose ICT Classes," dives deep into exploring the reasons behind this disparity. We'll examine the social stereotypes, unconscious biases, and lack of role models that might be discouraging girls from pursuing their passion for technology.
