Aramco Europe Supports Devoxx4Kids: Reaching More Children with IT Education
Devoxx4Kids Netherlands has been committed for years to introducing children to technology in a playful and accessible way. During special Devoxx4Kids days, primary school students and children in the first two years of secondary education get the chance to experiment with programming, robotics, and digital safety — guided by enthusiastic volunteers from the IT sector.
Until now, these events have taken place at external companies that generously offer their locations. But thanks to an annual donation from Aramco Europe, the foundation can significantly expand its reach and impact.
What This Contribution Enables
Aramco Europe’s support allows Devoxx4Kids to:
- Purchase additional hardware, such as laptops and robots, enabling multiple workshops to run simultaneously.
- Independently organize events in community centers or other accessible locations, ensuring that children outside the corporate world also gain access to IT education.
This expansion means Devoxx4Kids can operate more flexibly and reach more children — especially in neighborhoods where access to technology is not a given.
