Women’s Robotics Bootcamp in the Dominican Republic

The United States Embassy in Santo Domingo, in collaboration with the Instituto Cultural Domínico Americano (ICDA), successfully conducted a Women’s Robotics Bootcamp, bringing together 56 university students and 15 teachers. This event focused on promoting the inclusion of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).

During the bootcamp, participants received both theoretical and practical training in robotics, exploring new skills and opportunities in a constantly evolving field. This event is part of a broader Embassy initiative aimed at promoting gender equality in technological and creative areas, reaffirming its commitment to empowering young people and women in STEAM.

The workshops were designed by alumni Jeremy Losaw and Koral Núñez, who, along with industry professionals such as Alissa Sharpe and Sharon Jones, led the learning sessions. Personalized mentoring allowed participants to develop innovative projects with an interdisciplinary approach, strengthening both their technical skills and professional networks.

The closing ceremony featured representatives from the embassy and motivational remarks from Mr. Timothy Brown, Cultural Attaché.

This bootcamp represents a significant step towards a more inclusive and innovative future in the field of technology, where the active participation of women is essential.
