DigiWomen launches the first edition of the J’ose la tech program in Laval
We’re delighted to announce the official launch of the first edition of the J’Ose la Tech program at Le Blanc high school in Laval. This pilot project aims to introduce teenage girls to technological creation through collaborative, hands-on workshops.
At the heart of the program: the design of conversational chatbots! Participants learn how to program virtual agents capable of interacting with users in a variety of contexts. It’s an ideal opportunity to discover the basics of programming, artificial intelligence and interface design.
A big thank you to our Gold Sponsor, Nexus Innovations, for their invaluable support and commitment to the next generation of technology. Together, we’re opening doors for young girls to dare explore the world of tech!
