Thank you for keeping up with project managed by non-profit organization Aj Ty v IT (You too in IT). Let us present you latest news from the world of Slovak girls and women in IT.
Young girls
Final of ScratchMatch competition– for third year, we have organized a ScratchMatch competition for girls from 8 to 16 years. They have competed in two categories – younger and older ones, as individuals or as a team of 3 participants.
68 girls presented their project, so the jury had a hard time to select the best ones. We can see the rising quality of project and the strong motivation of girls to have good outcomes. It’s a big pleasure to participate at such competition!
High school girls
Coding Clubs on their way– the new creative content and rising number of girls participating at Coding Clubs are important for the future development. What is even more important, we can develop our presence in different regions, where the girls don’t have so many opportunities to develop their IT skills. So, after Bratislava, we have Coding Clubs in Trencin, Martin, Kosice and Banska Bystrica.
Mature women
New Academies for women – new topics bring us new students. The real uprising movement of women it IT starts with us. Lot of positives feedback is important to show us if we are on good way. UX development, eshop creation, SQL academy, PPC and SEO. New topics which attract lot of ladies.
IT Companies
On the other side, we start to work closely with IT companies, we bring them support and guidance how to attract and sustain women on IT positions.
