Zain Bahrain strengthens commitment to promoting Tech studies to girls

Zain Bahrain, a leading telecommunications operator in the Kingdom, invites young girls to join their ‘Girls for Tech' initiative (5th batch) which will inspire and encourage them to build their technology-related skills and increase access to hands-on, immersive STEM learning experiences. Through this initiative, girls aged 8-14 years can collaborate with their peers and learn to code and create fun interactive games and stories in a virtual setting conducted by motivating instructors. The ‘Girls for Tech' initiative was launched in 2019 in collaboration with the Supreme Council for Women and Zain Telecom, powered by Clever Play,  focusing on quality education and gender equality through exposure to technology early in life.  Zain Bahrain believes that “If you have a skill, foster it and let it become your craft” and has accordingly created the initiative that heightens Bahraini girls' interest in technology. The initiative also aligns with Zain Bahrain's commitment to helping achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5 – Gender Equality, SDG 4 – Quality Education, and SDG 8 for Decent Work and Economic Growth by teaching coding and basic robotics. It also aims to develop critical thinking skills and dialogue while encouraging the participating girls
