This morning for the Girls in ICT Day promoted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Coding Girls and participating universities will involve young women in high school in a series of orientation and role modelling sessions to explore the scenarios provided by new technology and drive them to choose careers in STEM [see news: Coding Girls in ICT Day]. This year the focus will be on access and security to eliminate the barriers that women still encounter and increase their security in digital environments [see event on ITU website].
