Inspiring Innovation: PNC Celebrates Women in Science at Happy Chandara School
PHNOM PENH, February 11, 2026 — To mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Passerelles Numériques Cambodia (PNC) hosted a vibrant, tech-focused exhibition at Happy Chandara School. The event was a celebration of female potential in STEM, designed to bridge the gap between curiosity and career for students of all ages.
Hands-On Tech: From Fun Games to AI
The PNC booth was a hub of activity, offering students from primary through high school a chance to touch the future of technology:
- The NomadLab Project: Students discovered how mobile tech labs can bring digital literacy to diverse communities.
- Student-Led AI Innovations: Visitors witnessed real-world AI projects developed by PNC students, proving that the leap from learner to creator is within reach.
- Interactive Challenges: Educational games that turned complex logic and coding concepts into engaging, approachable play.
Practical Skills: AI for Efficiency
A highlight of the celebration was the specialized workshop “Using AI to Generate Google Forms” tailored for secondary students. Across three sessions, participants moved beyond basic web browsing to master:
- AI Prompting: Learning how to ask AI tools to draft relevant survey and quiz questions.
- Form Architecture: Designing multiple-choice and short-answer formats with the help of digital assistants.
- Customization: Tailoring digital tools to meet specific project needs, making administrative tasks faster and smarter.
The Power of Representation
From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, seeing PNC—an institution famous for empowering underprivileged youth—partner with Happy Chandara—a school dedicated to girls’ education—is a powerful combination. When young women see AI innovations led by students just like them, the dream of a career in technology becomes a tangible reality.
