Mission Statement
Skool is a non-profit initiative dedicated to introducing girls and underprivileged children aged 10-23 to the exciting world of technology together with the most inspiring companies from the tech industry. Skool’s mission is to contribute to a social change in Hungary: to close the gender gap by having more women technology creators. With its fun, engaging and student-centred activities, workshops, after-school courses, summer camps and soft-skill training, Skool educates, inspires and equips children with the skills and resources required to explore their options and career possibilities in technology.
About This Cause
Skool partnership proposal 2024/25 SKOOL – THE CODING JOURNEY The story began 10 years ago with the aim of showing the exciting world of technology to as many girls as possible. We have had more than 18.000+ participants in our programs since 2014. Skool has become a synonym for innovative and inspirational technology training for young girls and underprivileged children over the past 10 years. Embracing the potential of the digital economy that changes the relationship between humans and technology, we are now extending our activities beyond coding: we reinterpret the learning process and strive to pass on the code of the future to the younger generations. True to our inquisitive mindset and achievements, we wish to continue the pioneering story that is unique in Hungary. We like to write stimulating storylines but give the leading roles to the youngsters and parents, as well as our mentors, trainers, and supporting partners. From the professional perspective, we redefine the learning process and the role of teachers, develop and provide learning content not available in the school system, involve parents, and include topics that are most relevant for our supporters. From the emotional view, we give space to experience-based learning and the joy of shared and creative discovery. Our technology focus is playful, lovable, memorable - and fundamentally free. We invite all our partners to a futuristic journey. The Skool program is: - Design learning and algorithmic thinking focused - Success-, story- and experience-based workshop - Developing problem-solving and thinking skills - Building real-life relationships between participants And so much fun! Why is it good to work with Skool as a company? - Collaboration with our pioneering story that is unique in Hungary - Through us, you can reach hundreds of children - Strengthen your employer brand and ESG goals - Show your employees that your company is giving back - Offer professional development opportunities for skilled volunteers - Contribute and support creating free-of-charge training and curriculum for teachers Main activities: Boost interest, broaden knowledge, encourage girls SHE’S SKOOL ONE-DAY WORKSHOP Be the host of our most famous and beloved Saturday workshops.

Age group: 16-19 years Topics: Fintech, Cryptocurrency, Big Data, AR-VR, AI-MI, Cyber Security, Deep learning, etc YouTube CHANNEL: Our YouTube channel launched in 2020, where we will discuss various tech / IT topics and present them to experts and children. (fintech, data visualization, big data, AR-VR, AI-MI, Cyber sec, Deep learning, Machine learning, etc.) The channel's purpose is to present the tech world where you work every day in an understandable, enjoyable way. The content we create is primarily for children and non-professional parents, aiming to reduce industry stereotypes and improve understanding of the profession. Form of collaboration: you will be featured in one of the episodes of an important topic to you (in the form of an interview), where a specialist of a supporting partner company talks about how the field appears in their everyday life. We plan to shoot in January so that you can choose from topics until mid-December. It is important that we work on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you decide, the more topics you can work on. :) Topics: Fintech, Big Data, AR-VR, AI-MI, Cyber sec., Deep learning, Machine learning, etc. Age group: 12+ Target group: girls, boys Planned reach: 10,000+ people/topic RollingOffice CARAVAN PROJECT: Bring the tech world closer to every young girl and boy who lives in remote areas. With this RollingOffice project, we aim to inspire young boys and girls living in rural and low socioeconomic areas in Hungary by engaging them in fun robot coding and game developing activities by providing them with a memorable success experience in coding. All activities will be designed for students new to computer science, so participation does not require any previous coding knowledge. The form of cooperation is foundation donation, which decreases the corporation tax base. Our foundation sends a certificate every year about the amount received. We trust that our proposal will please you, and we will soon be inspiring and educating girls and underprivileged children in technology nationwide. ★ Thank you for making all this happen ★
