Who said tech was boring, geeky, or not really helping others? As the United Nations’ agency for information and communication technologies (ICT), we think ICT is the most exciting area to get in to! So we will be working in partnership with lead players in the ICT, education and media industries to shift such misconceptions. To mark the first ever International Day of the Girl Child, we have launched the Tech Needs Girls Prize which targets girls from 9 to 18 as they start forming opinions of their place in technology and their choice for study and career paths.

Partners can tailor a competition to their specialty which gives girls around the world more options to get involved, gain confidence in their abilities, and learn first-hand how ICT can make a difference. The Prize will be awarded on Girls in ICT Day 2013.

The Prize forms part of ITU’s recently launched Tech Needs Girls campaign which aims to transform the myriad of scattered initiatives and organizational silos into a force for movement on the urgent issue of ensuring girls and women play a much more substantive role in the ICT sector and are better prepared for a life in technology.
