Feminization of the digital industry: immersion day with EDF x Elles Bougent

A collaborative framework that gave everyone a place, leaving room for creativity and the values of working together. The young people got involved and enjoyed the results of their efforts: knowing how to pitch in front of an audience and present the dynamic website they had learned to create.<br><br>This new intervention format for the Witech code program, which offers an immersion course in tech, was a winning bet. <strong>Mixing entrepreneurship and web development was a success and gave the young people more space to create and take ownership of the learning</strong>.</div>

A learning hackaton during the December vacations

As part of the project financed with Captain Cause, our aim was to organize introductory computer programming courses for 30 young girls and boys. Since the beginning of 2022, a total of 116 young people aged 10 to 20, including 55 girls, have taken part in the computer programming courses. 60% of the beneficiaries come from priority neighborhoods in the towns of Mantes la Jolie, in the Yvelines department, and Sevran, in Seine-Saint-Denis.
