Coding Girls Challenge in Monterotondo
Yesterday, the Liceo G. Peano in Monterotondo, in the Province of Rome, held the first CyberSHEcurity Challenge in which forty young women worked to develop prevention and defence strategies for a business. The event is promoted as part of the Ambizione Italia for Cybersecurity project, conceived in collaboration with Microsoft, and implemented with the Coding Girls Programme.
The young protagonists learn to deal with hot topics, such as privacy and data security, and they do so not only from a personal, but also professional point of view. In fact, the objective is to help girls seize the numerous career opportunities available in the cybersecurity sector. While this sector is rapidly expanding, only 25% of employees are women.
Here are the results of the challenge, as evaluated by the jury composed by:
- Samantha Di Genova, Coach
- Simone Guidotti, Physics and Mathematics Professor, Liceo Peano
- Marco Brocchieri, Coach
