Many social differences are connected and intertwined with the digital divide that we at Close the Gap are keen to bridge. This applies, for example, to the gender gap, which stands in the way of equality through unfair access to digital resources. The digital gap therefore also sheds light on gender inequality still prevalent today. To face both digital and gender inequality, HUB 21 Turkey invests energy and effort to provide personalized computer classes and tech programs for children and students. Their HUB21 For Girls program aims at halting the bias surrounding women’s presence in the tech industry more specifically.
The tailored learning environment HUB21 offers, introduces girls aged 10 to 17 to many concepts and models, hoping to incite their curiosity for education in STEM. This program enables girls from an early age to demonstrate and learn how to follow a path into the world of technology. It gives them the training and instruction they need to learn what options the technology sector can offer them, at what STEM education can provide them.
Apart from the HUB21 For Girls program, HUB21 more generally offers courses for all children to master technological skills while stimulating their creativity and having fun. Courses are provided for computer sciences, coding, programming, and developing games. The platform they use is always tailored to the age, curiosity, and experience of the pupil, allowing them to learn and grow their skills in technology in their own way. We are pleased to have provided HUB 21 Turkey with computer material, to be deployed in coding classes and instruction courses on game development and creative technology!
