The University of A Coruña (UDC) and Oracle will celebrate a very special event on March 7th, in which the ALDABA-WIB chair will participate. The initiative is designed to bring technology closer to girls and young women, within the framework of International Women's Day. Driven by the Vice-Rectorate for Students and Employability of the UDC, it was born with a clear objective: to awaken and foster STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) vocations from an early age.
During the day, the participants will be able to immerse themselves in practical workshops on programming, robotics, artificial intelligence, and other technologies. The proposal is simple and motivating: learn by doing, experiment, create, and have fun while discovering everything they can achieve with technology.
The event also reserves a space for families, who will be able to attend informational sessions where they will learn more about STEM educational options, resolve doubts about academic pathways, and discover the multiple professional opportunities offered by the ICT sector.
The event is aimed at girls and young women between the ages of 4 and 16. Registration is free and spots are limited. You can sign up here.
The ALDABA-WIB Chair, present at the event
The ALDABA-WIB Chair collaborates with the Faculty of Computer Science (FIC) thru the participation of Gema Vázquez Domínguez, Software Engineering Coordinator at ALDABA. With 18 years of experience, she will give the talk "Technology without women, an incomplete future," where she will address the gender gap in ICT, its structural causes, and the strategic need to incorporate more women into the sector.
