Nairobi’s iHub in collaboration with Intel is set to host Girls in ICT Day tomorrow, an event geared towards exposing young women to career opportunities in the tech industry.
The event will include a number of panels featuring various women from the ICT sector, including Wangechi Mwangi, AkiraChix super volunteer and co-founder of ValuRaha, Martha Chumo, founder of Nairobi Dev School, and Cynthia Wasonga, a budding student programmer, who will share their experiences of transitioning from high school to the world of tech.
“This year, we are not only hosting girls from various high schools across the country, but are also opening it up to young ladies in university, as this event is geared towards exposing young women to career opportunities in the tech industry,” organiser Marie Githinji said on the iHub blog.
Tickets are available for free on the event’s Eventbrite page.
