ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Infinite Computer Solutions – a leading global technology solution provider – has partnered with Girl Up, a United Nations Foundation initiative, and its affiliate, Girl Up México, to host 95 secondary school students and 10 college students from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, and the United States at WiSci (Women in Science) México STEAM Camp.
Beginning on July 1, WiSci México will bring together an international group of students for a week of cross-cultural relationship building, professional development, and science, technology, engineering, arts and design, and mathematics (STEAM) training.
Industry experts from Infinite Computer Solutions and other industry partners will join the WiSci México camp to lend their knowledge to the curriculum and to help attending students strengthen their skills in STEAM-related topics like design thinking, artificial intelligence, and innovation and creativity.
"Young talent is the key to the future of technology, and women are underrepresented in the STEAM fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and design and mathematics,” said Sanjay Govil, Chairman of Infinite. “We are proud to partner with Girl Up, an initiative of the United Nations Foundation, to help bridge that gap by inspiring and empowering the female leaders of tomorrow.”
Hosted by Girl Up and Girl Up México, along with government and private sector partners, the WiSci México STEAM camp will provide an encouraging and innovative environment for students to collaborate and form long-lasting relationships with other participants.
“The WiSci camp is a unique opportunity for girls to connect in a safe space, learn impact skills through STEAM, and recognize themselves as change agents in their communities. We are blessed to be able to bring this camp to girls in Central America. Let’s keep investing in opportunities for them; they deserve it,” said Girl Up México Founder, Bita Aranda.
WiSci México – the first fully in-person camp since 2020 – represents a broader public-private initiative to close the gender gap in STEAM and provide adolescent girls and young women with technical knowledge and mentorship opportunities. Previously, WiSci STEAM Camps have trained over 1,000 girls and youth allies in Rwanda, Peru, Malawi, Namibia, Georgia, Estonia, Kosovo, and Southeast Asia.
