48 girls took part in this year’s event, making IT-Camp as popular as ever in its 11 years lifespan.

The event received press coverage in the Danish media, starting October 19 in the nationwide newspaper JyllandsPosten with the story: "Rektor: »Vi helmer ikke, før der er lige mange mænd og kvinder i faget«" (Rector: "We're not goint to stop until there are an equal number of men and women in the profession"). The story involved Vice-Rector at Aarhus University Berit Eika's view on IT Camp for Girls, and the camps contribution and impact in having more women enrolling education in IT to support the Danish IT Industry. The story is behind a paywall, but you can see a snapshot of the story at our facebook-page.
