Faculty of Sciences to host Ada Lovelace STEM workshops in Uruguay

The Faculty of Sciences in Uruguay will host the Ada Lovelace Latin American STEM Workshops for the first time in the country. This initiative, which originated in Argentina, aims to introduce girls and adolescents to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through collaborative and experimental activities.

The fifth edition of the event will take place simultaneously across 122 locations in 12 Latin American countries. Participants will engage in workshops and challenges designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The Montevideo sessions will be connected to other regional sites to facilitate exchange between participants.

The workshops are named after Ada Lovelace, the 19th-century British mathematician recognized as the first computer programmer for her work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine.
