Increase Slovak girls participation in technology

Petra Kotuliakova is the director of Aj Ty in IT. He works with high schools all year round, organizes IT workshops, discussions, meetings for them. The organization does everything in order to prevent us from leaving one IT talent for the sake of prejudice.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Everyone is healthy, we have what to eat and where to live. That's the basis. Then comes the environment in which we live. If I say that she lives well in this country (health, education, economy, setting up society, optimism based on living conditions), then it's really great.

What are you most afraid of?

Losses close.

What did you want to be like a baby?

I wanted to be Linda Vespémi, the Hungarian criminologist, who had been challenging the dreams before each fight. So far, I remember how she kicked her one leg up until she kicked out :)

Who is the hero for you?

People who are not complaining but trying to solve and change things. We have a lot of "complainants" in Slovakia, it's a kind of national folklore.

What do you think is the most overrated feature?

Ability to sell. I know it's very important, but I often meet people who have saved the earth from their presentation, and then suddenly the man finds only empty packaging.

What is the most valuable thing you have?

My family.

What gives you every morning the desire to get out of bed and go to work, to life?

I'm looking forward to going home in the evening, getting a good night and having a good time :) And of course, I always believe that we'll save AJ Ty in IT all over Slovakia because we have a lot of great women in IT.

CREATIVE BONUS: What would you put into three nuts to make our world and life better?

A mandatory smile for everyone, a lot of sun and a good mood, but a third nice dress :)

Help motivate girls to be afraid of information technology!

Informatics is currently considered purely male, with stereotyped and monotonous work. For this reason, only 15-20% of women in technical positions work in the IT area in Slovakia. At the same time, the study of computer science is perceived as very demanding and the girls often discourage the environment from this direction. That's why IT colleges choose very few girls (about 5%). On the other hand, there is a large lack of IT specialists in Slovakia and globally (in the Slovak Republic, there are currently 10 IT informants missing, in the EU 900,000). AJ You in IT work with girls and motivate them to IT direction of study. We offer them workshops, discussions with women who are already working in IT, meetings at universities.
