My girl's Valentine Gift in  a Technological Era


Mobile Technology Boot Camps – Girls Decode


About Mobigirlz
Mobigirlz is an initiative of eMobilis Mobile Technology Institute that aims to empower girls and women socially and economically, using information and communication technologies.
This year we have launched a series of Mobile Technology Boot Camps to be conducted at Kibera, Huruma and Kawangware to the underprivileged girls interested in Tech.
Applicants will be taken through crash courses in mobile technology and entrepreneurship.
Seasoned lecturers and a collection of female mentors will be appearing along the way to offer training, guidance and advice. The training program will run for one week at the ICT Centers in the slums.


Our Objectives

Create a community
Connect female students, professionals, and entrepreneurs to create synergies towards building strong network of female leaders in tech.

Provide capacity building
Offer training opportunities to the underprivileged females from slums in mobile Tech and entrepreneurship who will work in teams to learn everything about mobile Tech.

Provide incubation & mentorship
Once the girls complete the training, Mobigirlz will help them to continue to develop their project further, by providing mentorship (both on the technical and the business ends) from either local or worldwide experts, through the Mobile network.

Requirement
You should be a female with basic computer skills, must also be a problem solver, have an idea and be ready to build it into a viable product using technology.
