The program aims to empower girls in public schools and develop skills in technology, through:
1/ STEM training to 2 000 middle/high school girls via 4 structured courses on video game creation, AI, chatbot development, Python programming & an introduction to electronics
2/ 300 scholarships for university female students (Advanced training in Java & Data Science) acting as mentors/instructors for younger girls
3/ Collaboration with public school system to identify participating schools & work on program delivery
4/ Career talks & mentorship with Alstom employees to expose girls to opportunities in the transportation & infrastructure sectors.
