    To celebrate the International Girls in ICT Day 2026 theme, “AI for Development,” the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the United Kingdom are organizing a special activity at the AI for Good Global Summit for up to 60 Geneva-based girls aged 8–12.

    The programme will offer a unique day of discovery, creativity and inspiration at the intersection of AI and STEM. Participants will rotate in groups through interactive AI workshops delivered by AddictLab, combined with inspirational exchanges with women mentors from Girls Can Code, who will share their professional journeys and experiences in artificial intelligence, science and technology.

    Participation is free but subject to prior registration through the following link: https://signup.addictlab.academy/form-6957944/aiforgood-itu. Selected participants will be confirmed following the review of registrations.

    Through hands-on activities and direct interaction with professionals, the activity aims to spark curiosity, build confidence in digital skills, and encourage girls to imagine themselves as future innovators and leaders shaping the digital future. Hosted within the AI for Good Global Summit, the initiative will also showcase the International Girls in ICT Day movement to a global audience of AI leaders, innovators and decision-makers.
