In celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, we kicked off our Tech Girls Advocacy Drive, a school outreach initiative designed to inspire young girls to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the opportunities digital skills create for their future.
For Day 1, we visited Sonmori Comprehensive High School, Ifako-Ijaiye, and Ifako-Ijaiye Comprehensive High School, Lagos, where we engaged students in conversations about technology, innovation, and the possibilities that come with acquiring digital skills.
At Tech4Dev, we believe that technology is a powerful pathway to economic prosperity. By introducing young girls to STEM and AI early, we are helping them discover new interests, broaden their career aspirations, and understand how digital skills can open doors to decent work, entrepreneurship, and opportunities to thrive in an increasingly digital economy.
Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, innovate, and participate in shaping the future of technology. Through the Tech Girls Advocacy Drive, we are taking this message directly to schools and encouraging more girls to see themselves not just as users of technology, but as future creators, innovators, and leaders who can contribute to building a more inclusive digital economy.
The advocacy continues throughout October as we reach more schools, spark conversations, and inspire the next generation of girls to explore the possibilities of technology.
Here’s a look at highlights from Day 1!
