Chicas en Tecnología — June 2026 Update
We are already halfway through the year, and Chicas en Tecnología is in one of its most active moments: working directly with girls, schools, teachers, companies, and partners to keep opening pathways into technology for young women across Argentina and Latin America.
This update shares just a few highlights from the first part of the year.
Bringing technology directly to schools
This year, we began implementing robotics workshops directly in schools. So far, more than 100 students from two schools in vulnerable neighborhoods in the City of Buenos Aires have participated.
For many of these students, opportunities to explore technology, robotics, and programming are very limited. That made the workshops especially meaningful.
One teacher shared that many students in her community do not personally know women who study or work in technology. During the workshop, CET Ambassadors — young women from our community studying careers such as Electronic Engineering, Physics, and other STEM fields — joined the activities and introduced themselves to the students.
The teacher told us that she could immediately see the students’ curiosity change. Seeing young women who were close, relatable, and already building their own paths in STEM helped the students imagine new possibilities for themselves.

In parallel, we have already launched the call for our teacher training workshops, with strong interest from educators who want to bring more technology and gender perspective into their classrooms.
Learning with real-world problems
We also continued expanding our training programs for young women.
In our Data Analytics course, 78 participants worked across six sessions not only to learn technical concepts, but also to use data to explore real-world issues connected to work, mental health, substance use, gender inequalities, and access to basic resources in low-income neighborhoods.

Our Ai Assisted Programming course has also started and is ongoing, with more than 100 young women participating through virtual and in-person formats.

These are only a few examples. Other programs — including Mentorships, Clubes CET, IA Camp, Young Professionals in IT, and many more — are also moving forward and will reach thousands of girls and young women across Latin America throughout the year.
Moving the ecosystem forward
Alongside our work with young women, CET continues to mobilize the broader technology and education ecosystem.
In March, we launched Paridad en Código, our new research study on the participation of women in technology companies in Argentina.

The study was also featured by different media outlets, helping amplify a question that remains urgent: where are we today, and what still needs to change to build a more equal future in technology?
