Steam Girls 360°

This program is aimed at girls between 8 and 18 years old, through virtual modality in periods of 3 months. The main objective of STEAM Girls 360° is focused on trying to reduce the digital gender gap and training participants in STEAM education with an emphasis on technology, programming and robotics. In addition, students are taught soft skills which foster the attributes of resilience, perseverance, and discernment; these abilities guide them in their daily lives.

Synchronous classes are held once a week from Monday to Saturday, depending on the group the girls belong to. From Monday to Friday the schedule is from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm and on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.

The virtual learning is complemented by face-to-face activities that provide an important value of coexistence for the program.

STEAM Girls 360° has valuable partners among companies and non-governmental organizations, such as BOEING / PADF (Pan American Development Foundation), Senacyt (National Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation), Johnson & Johnson, Multibank, DELL, Banesco, Fundamorgan, Mercantil among others.

Testimonials:

Abigail Díaz

"Something that I have really liked in these 3 months is to continue learning about robotics and about women in the STEAM world... (This course) has helped me a lot to continue devising new projects and new ideas both for the environment and for our country… What do I recommend to girls to enter this program? (First I tell them) that they do not need to know about robotics to be able to enter, they just have to have a great desire and energy to continue facing new challenges and acquire new knowledge. The knowledge you will acquire will last forever."
