Following a hackathon-style format, the program culminated with final presentations to a panel of technologists from IBM and the Syracuse community. Hosted at Syracuse University’s Blackstone LaunchPad in Bird Library, 125 students from across campus formed teams and challenged themselves to develop solutions that significantly improve preparedness for natural disasters and relief in their aftermath. JULIE WALASĬALL FOR CODE IBM’s Call for Code Global Initiative inspires technologists around the world to apply their skill sets and talent to drive positive and long-lasting change across the world. Sharon shared a relevant and engaging presentation with the It Girls about their futures and the vast opportunities there are for women in the field of information technology. Connections and technical knowledge were shared with the It Girls through a number of means, including industry and academia-led workshops and an insightful conversation with IBM Keynote Speaker, Sharon Fortune Bowden. Essential components of the program are the opportunities the It Girls have to meet like-minded students and create meaningful connections with professional women, iSchool staff, faculty, current students, and iSchool alumnae who work in the IT industry. Designed to support and engage the It Girls, the event also helps them develop a pathway to study Information Technology as an academic discipline. For eight years, approximately 100 high school students, junior and senior women from across the country have traveled to Syracuse University each year to participate in a fun-filled, technology-focused, two-day event. IT GIRLS OVERNIGHT RETREAT A sponsor and strong supporter of the iSchool’s It Girls Overnight Retreat for a number of years, IBM raised their level of support in 2018 to generously become the program’s first Event Level sponsor.
