2,390 female students

graduated from the Tecnolochicas course.

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.

"Initiatives to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have largely been left to nonprofit organizations, rather than becoming a central focus of the curriculum." Webber, J. (October 13, 2021). Students and schools feel the strain in Mexico's pandemic Financial Times.

“Estamos muy atrasados… STEM no es un lujo, ahora es una necesidad para todos los estudiantes”, comentó Alicia Lebrija, presidenta ejecutiva de Fundación Televisa, para la publicación del Financial Times.

Initiatives generating impact:

  • Strategic synergy. Connected with more than two alumnae through the Government of Nuevo Leon and the Federal Education Authority in CDMX.
  • Partnerships with value. Scaled the program and co-funded its implementation through donors such as Infosys USA, Infosys India, Liberty, VVS.
  • Courses. The Tecnolochicas course was taught online to 3,151 female students.
