At Geneva Residences, we love sharing the most exciting events happening in Geneva—and this April brings an inspiring opportunity for young minds interested in technology.

On April 25, 2026, CERN will celebrate the global Girls in ICT Day by opening the doors of its iconic CERN Science Gateway to girls aged 12 to 16 for a unique, hands-on experience in the digital world.

A Day to Discover Technology

The International Girls in ICT Day is a worldwide initiative designed to encourage girls to explore careers in technology and digital innovation. At CERN, this mission comes to life through interactive workshops led by scientists and experts.

Participants will spend the day immersed in learning, creativity, and experimentation—discovering how technology shapes our world and how they can be part of it.

Hands-On Workshops at CERN

The event features two engaging workshops designed to make complex concepts accessible and fun:

1. Machine Intelligence

Girls will explore how artificial intelligence works—learning how systems like ChatGPT can recognize images, sounds, and even music. They’ll also get the chance to train their own AI models while understanding both their potential and limitations.

2. AI for Motion Analysis

In this interactive session, participants will create a smart system capable of recognizing movements like walking, jumping, or clapping. It’s a playful yet powerful way to understand how AI applies to real-life situations.

Why This Event Matters

Technology continues to shape the future—and initiatives like Girls in ICT Day are key to ensuring that young women are part of that future. By offering early exposure to STEM fields, CERN helps reduce the gender gap in technology and inspires confidence, curiosity, and ambition.

The event is free, but spaces are limited, making early registration essential for those interested in attending.

Experience Geneva Through Innovation

Events like this highlight why Geneva is such a unique destination—not only for its beauty and culture but also for its role at the forefront of science and innovation.
