Founded in Slovakia in 2013, Aj Ty v IT (translated as You Too in IT) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and supporting girls and women to explore and thrive in the world of information technology. Guided by our motto, "Technology has no gender," we aim to break down societal stereotypes and ensure women play an active role in shaping the technological future. Since our inception, over 55,000 girls and women have participated in our programs, which span community-building, education, and mentorship. For primary school girls (ages 8-14), we organize engaging workshops and hands-on activities in schools and communities to introduce young girls to the exciting world of IT. Using tools like MICRO:BIT, OZOBOTs, LEGO Robots, SCRATCH, and CANVA, we create a fun, creative environment that sparks interest in technology. These programs also aim to challenge and prevent stereotypes about technology being "just for boys". For high school students (ages 15-19), we offer specialized workshops, advanced courses, and career-focused activities that equip them with essential IT skills. These programs prepare them for the workforce of the future, opening doors to careers they might not have previously considered. Adult women (ages 19+) seeking personal growth or career transformation find opportunities through our comprehensive IT academies. We support upskilling for those advancing within their current fields and reskilling for those pursuing entirely new career paths in technology. Our community events and conferences foster meaningful connections, offering mentorship and networking opportunities. To ensure sustainable change, we empower teachers with the skills and tools to make IT education more inclusive for girls. Our training programs cover the latest technologies, including AI software, and provide access to free resources through our TECHLIB library, where educators can borrow hardware to enrich their classroom activities.
