Country: Tunisia
Participation year: 2017

With Ons at the helm, the first and only chapter of ProjectCSGIRLS has been approved for Tunis. This is the 8th chapter worldwide. After being selected, Ons created a team of five inspiring Tunisian girls to start running the chapter together. First on the agenda, an opening ceremony and a coding event. They hope to reach 100 girls and provide them with skills to pursue careers in STEM.
Additionally, Ons is partnering with Ananya, a USA TechGirls Youth Ambassador,  TechWomen alumni Faten Khalfallah Hammouda and #VirginiaTech #ComputerScience professors, to create a six-day program for 45 adolescence from the #Kerkenah region. The program will include computer coding classes, community service projects, and visits from inspirational speakers. Ons is learning how much effort it takes to organize a successful camp. With recruitment of participants, speakers, workshop instructors, sponsors, and more, Ons is a very busy young woman.
