Ada Lovelace Day Event
A collaborative network that drives STEM experiences throughout Latin America.
Each year, more than 100 host sites throughout Latin America open their doors so that girls aged 10 to 12 can explore science and technology together, through playful and experimental workshops.
Each host site organizes the Event in its city, with its own team, while connected live with the rest of the Ada Lovelace network.
In 2022, a group of Argentine women scientists wanted to do something concrete: to bring science and technology closer to the girls in their communities, within the framework of the International Ada Lovelace Day.
What began as a local initiative grew each year until it became a Latin American network that today connects more than 100 host sites simultaneously, in 12 countries of the region.
A network that grows every year.
Educational institutions from different countries join every year to bring science and technology closer to more girls throughout the region.
Over the course of one morning, each host site runs two in-person STEM workshops together with the girls of its community. Simultaneously, all host sites connect live to share the welcome, the closings and the moments of regional exchange.
The activities are playful, experimental and collaborative. They are designed especially for the Event by teachers, researchers and outreach workers from institutions across Latin America.
Who we are
The Ada Lovelace Event is driven by academic institutions from Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, and coordinated by an interdisciplinary team that works throughout the year to make each edition possible. We also have the support of sponsors and institutions that make its growth possible.

We want more girls to discover that science, technology and mathematics are also for them. That they have a concrete, fun and meaningful experience that broadens what they imagine possible for their lives.
And we want that to happen in their own communities, hand in hand with teachers, researchers and volunteers who are also part of this story.
