Why we love it?
At a time when digital technology seems to be a buoyant, job-creating sector of the future, it's vital to ensure that it's not just for the elite, but accessible to all. That's the role of Witech, which aims to train young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods, especially girls, to make tech inclusive.
