On February 25, the second edition of Empower Next Gen, the series of workshops dedicated to Artificial Intelligence promoted by ENG in collaboration with Codemotion, will officially come to an end.

The initiative, which in 2025 once again involved six Italian schools and over 100 female students, aligns with the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, celebrated on February 11, with the aim of promoting greater female participation in STEM pathways and technology-related professions.

Throughout the project, the students had the opportunity to explore the fundamentals of A.I., experimenting firsthand with tools and real-world applications, engaging with women professionals in the field, and developing awareness of the opportunities offered by the digital world. Empower Next Gen was not only a training program but also an orientation and inspirational experience designed to strengthen skills, confidence, and ambition.

The final event will be a moment of celebration and discussion. Speaking to greet participants and share an overview of the results achieved will be:

• Federica Fabrizio | activist, science communicator, TEDx Speaker
• Mara Marzocchi | Co-Founder of Codemotion
• Francesca Mazzeo | former Empower Next Gen alumna
• Giovanni Palmieri | teacher at the Palmieri-Polo-Rampone Institute
• Samantha Williams | DEI Senior Specialist at ENG
• Adriana Carotenuto | Offering Manager at ENG

The closing discussion will offer a concrete look at real opportunities for women’s professional growth in STEM and tech fields, addressing topics such as inclusion, female leadership, future skills, and overcoming gender stereotypes.

With Empower Next Gen, ENG reaffirms its commitment to supporting new generations and building a more equitable, inclusive, and representative technological ecosystem—one in which talent and passion can thrive, regardless of gender.
