How do you inspire young girls to pursue a future in IT?

On Tuesday 14 April, we welcomed 30 pupils from Het Nieuwe Lyceum in Bilthoven to our head office in Utrecht. A day full of inspiration, creativity and new perspectives. And above all, a great opportunity to show that there are plenty of opportunities for girls in IT too.

During Girls’ Day, the participants took part in various interactive sessions, hosted by colleagues from our expert companies.

• 🎮 Creating a video game with your own voice
  Conclusion Enablement

The girls discovered how to create a video game themselves, using their own voice.

• 🖥️ Project kick-off: How do we create more 'hype' around the Bankzitters?
  Conclusion Consulting

As young consultants, the participants worked together on an idea and project plan to create more hype around the Bankzitters. They learned that every strong project starts with one sharp idea, clear steps and thinking ahead.

• 🎙️ A podcast about the technology of the future
  Conclusion Enablement

Together, the girls created a podcast about the technology of the future. What will exist in years to come? Flying cars, maybe?

• 📱Building an app
  Conclusion Low Code Company

We use apps every day, but how are they actually built? During this workshop, the participants discovered step by step how an app is created.

• 💬 Panel
  During the panel session, the girls spoke with six female colleagues from Conclusion. They asked questions about their work, their career paths and what working in IT means to them. This gave the participants a clear picture of the diversity of roles, backgrounds and opportunities within our sector.
