Abstract
The Ayitic project encourages women's involvement in technology, and promotes the development of employment opportunities in Haiti in digital markets. The proposed pedagogical framework includes: student acquisition and engagement; skills building; context-based vocabularies and literacy; technology usage and online learning. Overall social and economic conditions are dire for both men and women in Haiti, with more than 59% living below the poverty line. Women are particularly disadvantaged as they suffer from higher levels of unemployment, lower educational levels, poorer overall living conditions and greater vulnerability to exploitation. This paper provides a detailed overview of the pedagogical strategy and curriculum.
