International Girls in ICT Day

Today, we join the global community in celebrating International Girls in ICT Day!

Girls in ICT Day was born from a simple but urgent idea - that digital skills are a gateway to opportunity, and that gateway should be open to everyone. Closing the gender gap in technology is about what becomes possible when more women bring their talent and perspective to STEM fields that are reshaping how we live and work.

At Athens Tech College, we are proud to be part of that story - through the women who study computer science with us, who grow here, and who go on to build careers in one of the most dynamic industries of our time.

Happy International Girls in ICT Day to every woman and girl in tech, worldwide. 🖥️

ATH/TECH Faculty Insights 💙 Ask a Lecturer

Every lecturer has seen it. A student hits a topic that feels impossibly complex - and quietly decides it is not for them.

We asked Dr. Thomas Varsamidis, Academic Director of Postgraduate Studies at ATH/TECH College, as part of our ongoing ATH/TECH Faculty Insights series, what the most common roadblock he sees students hit is - and what he tells them.

"They may consider some topics too 'difficult' to work in and not take them on. Everything in technology is there because of a good reason, not 'just because'. Take it one step at a time and all will make good sense soon."

— Dr. Thomas Varsamidis · Academic Director of Postgraduate Studies, ATH/TECH College
