Solution

The Witech code program presents itself as a gateway to the digital world, training young people aged 12 to 25 in key technical skills (programming, web development, AI). Focusing on profitability and positive social impact (#TechForGood), it sparks vocations and inspires all individuals to consider a career in the digital sector. 
 
The training is open to all, regardless of gender, as everyone has a role to play in building an inclusive digital future. By promoting inclusion and breaking down barriers, equal opportunities in the digital sector are stimulated.

On Saturday, May 25, at Viva Technology, an event where anything becomes possible, we had the honor of accompanying 34 middle-school girls. 
Thanks to the 100+100 = The Future in Tech initiative of the Les Intrépides de la Tech collective, these young girls took part in speed mentoring sessions and enjoyed an exceptional guided tour of the event.

Energy and inspiration were on the agenda! They also took part in interactive workshops organized by the E-mma association and Latitudes - Exploring Tech for Good, where they were able to explore the world of technology and innovation.

🙏 Thank you to our Captains for their financial support, which makes it all possible!

We're proud to share feedback on our 100% girls' bootcamp in partnership with Viva Technology during the February vacations.

A score of young girls had the opportunity to take part in a bootcamp organized at the heart of the VivaTech premises. They were immersed in an intense hackathon, supervised by a dynamic team.

The program included a design thinking workshop, where they brought their ideas to life, accompanied by the Schoolab team. They created their graphic charter and designed their logo. They then applied their web development skills to create an attractive website. They perfected their pitching skills, essential for these future entrepreneurs 👀.

The secret to this exceptional week? The support and mentoring of 20 VivaTech employees, who coached the participants and shared their expertise with these young leaders.

On Friday, they had the opportunity to present their projects in front of a jury, their loved ones and VivaTech employees.

It was much more than just a week of learning: it was a celebration of the strength, talent and potential of young girls in technology and innovation.

A big thank you to everyone who made this week possible👏

Why we love it?

At a time when digital technology seems to be a buoyant, job-creating sector of the future, it's vital to ensure that it's not just for the elite, but accessible to all. That's the role of Witech, which aims to train young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods, especially girls, to make tech inclusive.
