Celebrating Girls in ICT on 24 April

‘Girls in ICT, Building CARICOM’ is the theme guiding the Community's celebration of International Girls in ICT Day on 24 April. The Day is an annual observance led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to encourage girls and young women to pursue careers in information and communication technologies (ICT) and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEM/STEAM).  

To celebrate the day, the CARICOM Girls in ICT Partnership will host an inspiring webinar and a speaker series, designed to spotlight the voices and stories of girls in technology. 

Participants in the webinar will explore how AI is transforming all aspects of life; the support drone technology provides to environmental management; and how robotics is changing the way business and industries operate. The speaker series will follow a day in the lives of an e-commerce agri-entrepreneur, education technology futurist, innovative brand and design strategist, and a statistician and technology researcher.  

There will also be a panel discussion on the role of AI in shaping the future classroom. 

Please join us on our social media platforms for the events which begin at 10 am AST.
