International Girls in ICT Day
April 23 · Level 9 · #428 of 2238
International Girls in ICT Day helps girls and young women explore information and communication technologies as a possible career. Led by the International Telecommunication Union, the initiative connects learning opportunities with mentors and women working in the field.
How it is celebrated: coding sessions, robotics workshops, company visits and mentoring events give participants practical experience. They can try making a project and discover the skills behind different technology jobs.
This observance moves around the calendar: it falls on the fourth Thursday of April. That means April 23 is its date in some years, rather than a fixed annual appointment.
