Results

During the year 2023.

The results that we see in the preliminary reports of the study show us that this year we have had better results. One change made in taking the test was to add, in the middle of the year, a qualitative measurement; this allowed us to have a clearer and deeper picture of the impact of the program on the girls, making visible some issues that we had not seen before, such as, for example, the complexity of the projects, the time-lapse in the program before the programming section, and the ability to find potential users for testing.

Metrics

In 2023, classrooms resumed normalcy with heightened teacher engagement. Following a 40-hour training session at the year’s outset, teachers participated in individual reinforcement workshops from May to July. Each session, lasting 2 pedagogical hours, focused primarily on enhancing skills in prototyping and programming.

Impact of Program

The program offers coding and entrepreneurship training to young women aged 13–17, supported by peers and mentors. Participants develop mobile apps to address community issues, learning business modeling, user adoption strategies, and AI fundamentals. Implemented in six Chilean high schools during the 2023 academic year, it impacted 628 girls in ninth and tenth grades, equipping them with practical skills applicable beyond computer science.

Description of Metrics and Results

During this year, 2023, we return to a much more normalized classroom with greater willingness, especially by the teachers. They received 40-hour training at the beginning of the year, and later, between the months of May and July, a series of individual reinforcement workshops were held, lasting 2 pedagogical hours, where each teacher was reinforced mainly in the prototyping and programming areas.


Although there are certain gaps that persist, such as the lack of computer equipment in some establishments, this year we once again had the support of WOM in connectivity.

This year, we could also have visits from expert volunteers at various high schools. These took classes on topics such as marketing, programming, UX, pitch, and prototyping. These types of actions deeply encouraged the girls to believe that their projects were good.
