The #BeMeDigitalinclusion program empowers Black women and girls, aged 13-25, from marginalised communities by providing essential digital skills, mentoring, and career development opportunities. Our initiative focuses on building confidence and fostering digital literacy through tailored workshops, tech industry exposure, and hands-on experiences. We collaborate with schools to offer #BeMe students access to mentorship from industry professionals, tech office visits, and engagement in practical projects. By participating, #BeMe students will gain valuable skills in areas like STEM, AI, and Web 3, preparing them for future careers in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Join us in bridging the digital divide and inspiring the next generation of female innovators.
#BeMeDigitalinclusion Sustainable Tech Event:
This annual event brings together tech professionals, educators, and students to discuss sustainable technology solutions. Participants explore innovations in energy, green tech, attend workshops, and network with experts to inspire action in building a sustainable future.
#BeMe 12-Week Mentorship:
We are raising parents awareness about the disproportionate levels of Black young women not in Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) | Web 3 related careers.
London Tech Office Visits:
Students gain exclusive access to leading tech companies in London, where they explore the workplace, engage with tech professionals, and learn about cutting-edge projects. These visits inspire students to visualise their own tech careers.
Face-to-Face Work Experience for Year 10s:
Year 10 students participate in an in-person work experience at tech organisations, applying their digital skills in a professional setting. This provides valuable insight into the tech industry and future career options.
To support the #BeMeDigitalinclusion program, we need access to tech office spaces for visits, mentors from STEM industries, virtual platforms for remote work experiences, and training materials for boot camps. We also require devices, internet access, sponsorships for event logistics, and partnerships for apprenticeships. Financial contributions will ensure the program’s success and sustainability.
Ensure students have devices, reliable internet, and access to a suitable classroom setup. A positive attitude towards learning is key. Review the curriculum, gather necessary materials, and create an engaging, interactive environment to encourage participation and hands-on learning.
