<div>Creating a website for an association while engaging middle and high school students and Deloitte employees? Witech made it happen!<br><br>💻 Last week, middle and high school students from our youth committee initiated the creation of a website for Sira Association, which fights against student poverty. On the program: drafting the specifications, choosing a host and creating the site's tree structure.<br><br>💡 All with the help of Deloitte employees who are experts in these subjects.</div>

A double-impact hackathon ✨

<div>During the school vacations, we accompanied 18 energetic young people, aged 11 to 16, for a week-long hackathon that culminated in a pitch competition. Our aim? Make them aware of the environmental and social issues around us, and encourage them to come up with concrete solutions.<br><br>We firmly believe that action is the key to change.<br><br>The pitch competition was special, because we had a special panel of judges: the leaders of the youth committee. These young people evaluated the projects with a fresh, authentic eye. For us, the idea is to create an autonomous system, because we are convinced that they possess all the necessary resources and that our role is simply to accompany them and help them identify them.<br><br>One of the initiatives that particularly touched us was the one dreamed up by a group of 4 young people: the creation of the association Les Harceleurs Anonymes.<br>All too often, we hear about victims of harassment, but what about the harassers themselves? These young people had the brilliant idea of setting up a space of trust and support for those who find themselves in this delicate, often misunderstood and isolated situation.<br><br>We also congratulate this year's winners: Un Foyer pour Tous. Their project involves providing a turnkey structure to support homeless people towards personal fulfillment and professional integration.</div>

Creative youth 🌟

<div>What pride! What intensity!<br><br>Six girls and six boys collaborated in groups to design projects all focused on positive impact. They prepared their pitch and brought their vision to life through the creation of a website to showcase their project.<br><br>Entrepreneurship, creativity, collective intelligence, learning web development, web design and speaking! All in the space of one intense week.<br><br>Congratulations to our young talents 🌟<br><br>We thank all the contributors who support our mission.</div>

A learning hackaton during the December vacations

As part of the project financed with Captain Cause, our aim was to organize introductory computer programming courses for 30 young girls and boys. Since the beginning of 2022, a total of 116 young people aged 10 to 20, including 55 girls, have taken part in the computer programming courses. 60% of the beneficiaries come from priority neighborhoods in the towns of Mantes la Jolie, in the Yvelines department, and Sevran, in Seine-Saint-Denis.
