Description
Chicas en Tecnología is a community for high-school girls. Its purpose is to shorten the gender gap in the tech industry. The non-profit organization allows women from 18+ South-American countries to receive free learning opportunities, such as international events, webinars, mentorships, scholarships, and internships.
Four women found the community in 2015. Their purpose was to create a space for other women to learn how to build a career in tech. Chicas en Tecnología's initiatives want to teach girls how to introduce themselves to the tech industry.
PUMM, Spanish initials of programming a better world, is one of their most popular events. It's a boot camp designed to educate intensively (20 hours in 6 days) about tech and entrepreneurship. Participants solve a social issue with a group project that combines technology and innovation.
All community events and programs are completely free to join. If you wish, you can donate, become a sponsor or a mentor to give back to Chicas en Tecnología.
