As ArabWIC is an international organization, many of the initiatives launched by ArabWIC Lebanon chapter will scale to other chapters due to the strong connection between the various chapters and the unified vision within the whole organization. The best example is the replication of the She Develops hackathon in many other Arab countries under the other national ArabWIC chapters.
Girls got IT event is also being replicated in Lebanon (in different capacities and regions) where there will be multiple editions per year. Moreover, there are plans to expand Girls got IT to the Arab region in the near future.
Moreover, focus on empowering professional women in STEM careers will continue by providing workshops on newest technologies, more awareness sessions of exchange programs, networking events, and scholarship opportunities.
