Not everyone necessarily has to become scientists or programmers: technology allows us to rethink professions, even those related to the humanities. Data science and Artificial Intelligence can create new opportunities in a country with a strong classical tradition.

Overcoming gender biases towards the study of technical-scientific subjects and encouraging girls to pursue these study paths is not only an opportunity for professional growth for female students, but also an essential contribution to improving society and filling the shortage of professionals in the field.
Every year, in April, the United Nations sponsor events dedicated to encouraging the participation of young women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education paths: in this context, the City of Milan organizes, in April 2017, #STEMinthecity, three days of events aimed at encouraging and facilitating the approach to technical-scientific careers by female students in the city.
With this major project, the Department for Digital Transformation and the entire administration continue their commitment to women in Milan, with the support of technology.
Technology in general is a powerful tool for the personal and professional development of everyone, and in particular digital services are a valuable aid in balancing work and private life every day, a principle that applies to everyone and especially to women.
