Pre University STEM event titled “TECH GIRLS – Empower the GIRLS through Emerging Technologies Education“. This is a 8 Day program which will focus on educating the young children about basics of IoT and other emerging topics. This event will be conducted in August 2024. This event is done in collaboration with 4 other chapters/ societies and 8 SBs .

In todays rapidly evolving technological environment, it is mandatory to equip young individuals, especially girls, with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the digital era. However, there exists a gender disparity in STEM fields, with fewer girls opting for careers in technology-related fields. To address this issue and foster gender diversity in emerging technologies, we propose an initiative aimed at empowering girls in Pre University by providing awareness in the emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Internet of Things. The event proposed is a skill development workshop which aims in nurturing and enhancing software skills in the areas of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, IoT and Cyber Security. A full day workshop is planned which targets primarily the Pre university girl students. This workshop will be followed by an evaluation in the form of quiz which will help us determine the depth of understanding of the participants. This workshop will be an eyeopener for the participants who can choose a career in the field of emerging technologies

Objectives:
 To inspire and encourage girls to pursue careers in Emerging Technologies.
 To provide girls with access to resources and opportunities for hands-on learning in
Emerging Technologies.
 To foster a supportive and inclusive learning environment that promotes collaboration and
creativity.
 To equip girls with essential skills and knowledge to navigate and excel in the digital world.
