Bi-national program in the United States and Mexico, in which we seek to inspire underprivileged girls and young women, with the support of allies, to teach them basic programming and Computer Science, so that they can increase their potential.
Technolochicas methodology includes the creation of a safe learning space, a community of women and role models with inspiring stories of women leaders in Science and Technology.
