AFA, in cooperation with the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications and Telenor, organized the Hack#teen – a hackathon for girls aged 11 to 14. Our colleagues Ana Dedović and Mariana Milićević were mentors at the hackathon where they worked together with the girls to create the game. Hackathon aimed to empower and inspire the next generations of girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to be equally represented in the technological affairs of the future and to participate in the creation of a new, digital civilization. The program was held on September 23rd at the Colaković Legacy in Belgrade, while the ceremony and award ceremony took place on September 24th in the Metropol Garden.

Hack#teen is part of the More Girls in STEM initiative, which is dedicated to encouraging and motivating girls to become more interested in science and get involved in STEM professions, to raise awareness of the importance of women’s and girls’ participation in creating a digital future. The initiative is dedicated to promoting the importance of knowledge and education as a key to success and advancement in life.
