The first-ever eSTEAM Festival was a phenomenal success, and we couldn't have done it without your generous support. Your donations fueled a five-day journey of discovery, collaboration, and inspiration for 60 incredible girls from 18 cities located across 10 regions of Morocco. This wasn't just a festival; it was a powerful launchpad for our year-long program “Titrit Journey”. Our young participants dove into workshops on leadership and design thinking, explored the world of coding and robotics, and connected with leading experts and role models. They formed into teams, unleashed their innovation and team work to present 11 breakthrough ideas on education, health, sustainability and fighting poverty. The energy and creativity on display were truly amazing! We are incredibly proud of the impact we've made and are so grateful to you for being a part of this milestone.
Launching Future Leaders
We believe in a future where girls are at the heart of the tech sector, and your contribution is making that vision a reality. While women make up over half of higher education students in science and technology in Morocco, they remain underrepresented in entrepreneurial tech. The eSTEAM Festival and the subsequent Titrit program aim to change this by empowering girls from as young as eight with the skills and confidence they need to become future leaders. The festival was a celebration of intelligence and creativity, and the start of a year-long journey for these girls to become ambassadors in their own communities, inspiring a ripple effect of empowerment.
More Than a Festival: A Year-Long Journey
The eSTEAM Festival was the perfect kickoff to our one-year follow-up program. Through our platform, Titrit, the girls will continue their learning journey by participating in impactful programs like Technovation, Tigmi, T-Inspire, and Tanirt. Your support ensures that our mission doesn't end with a five-day event. It provides these girls with a strong network and the resources they need to create their "POWERBOOK" a kind of augmented CV that documents their achievements and growth. This long-term commitment is what truly sets us apart, and it's all made possible because of you.
Thank You for Believing in Girls in STEM
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your belief in our mission has transformed 60 lives and set them on a path to success. The enthusiastic feedback from the girls and their parents, the strategic partnerships we've sealed, and the high-visibility media coverage we received all stand as a testament to the power of your generosity. We are so excited about the future and look forward to expanding our impact even further in the next 2026 edition. We hope you'll continue to stand with us as we work to advance gender equality in STEM and build a brighter, more inclusive future for Morocco.
