Our METSy campaign has reached over 4 million people, inspiring conversations about stereotypes and the role of women in technology. The number of participants in our workshops and educational programs has exceeded 89,000, and our activities have been recognized by prestigious institutions - Adrianna Klimczak, co-founder of the Foundation, was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and the Foundation won the Golden KTR award for the METSy campaign.

\r\n Social campaigns and influence<\/strong>\r\n In 2023, the IT Girls Foundation strengthened its position as a leader in activities for equality in technology. We published the eBook "How to support girls in discovering science", which was downloaded by over 13,500 guardians and teachers from all over Poland. Our mentoring and educational programs have already covered 8 of the largest cities in Poland, and the Foundation's activities have begun to cover the whole of Poland. We have started cooperation with key brands such as Google Cloud, Accenture, Intel, PwC, ING Hubs, BCG Platinion and Netcompany, which allows us to work even more effectively for equality in IT. This year, the Foundation also won the Golden Arrow award for the "Updated Fairy Tales" campaign and the title of Equal Business Leaders 2023 for both founders.\r\n <\/div>\r\n

This year, our flagship project "Updated Fairy Tales" was also created, which reached 50,000 children, changing the narrative of classic fairy tales and inspiring girls to develop their technological passions. The number of volunteers increased significantly, and our workshops began to take place in schools throughout Poland.\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n The beginning of the mission<\/strong>\r\n In 2021, the IT Girls Foundation was established, with the mission of increasing the participation of women and girls in the technology industry. From the beginning, we focused on organizing programming workshops for children and young people, without creating divisions. In the first months of our activity, we established cooperation with the first partners from the IT sector, which allowed us to expand educational activities and reach an increasing number of recipients.\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
