Aj Ty v IT was established in 2012 with the aim of motivating and supporting girls and women in the information technology sector. Our intention, expressed by the motto “technology has no gender”, is to build a technologically equal society and make sure that women, rather than being marginalised, become an integral part of our shared technological future. Aj Ty v IT has trained over 34,000 women, young girls and teachers, and offered over 1500 online courses, workshops and academies. A particularly noteworthy achievement is that Aj Ty v IT have helped to increase the number of women in IT studies in Slovakia from 5% to 15%. Through its activities, the association disrupts social stereotypes about women’s involvement in IT, builds a community, and educates girls from the age of 8, to high school students, to adult women, for which it provides special professional career programmes. It also collaborates with IT faculties at universities.
