International day of women and girls in science / Día internacional de la mujer y la niña en la ciencia 2024

This year the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is commemorated on Sunday, February 11. It has been implemented by UNESCO and the United Nations, in collaboration with educational institutions and civil societies with the aim of promoting equal access and representation of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Women and Girls in Science Day is a reminder to society about the critical role that women have in visioning within the scientific community and that their participation must be strengthened. This year's theme is “The leadership of women and girls in science: a new era for sustainability.”

At our school we are happy and excited to welcome five former students who have developed in the field of science, specifically in the medicine field. Natalia Montes de Oca (Gen.2020), Sofía Montes (Gen. 2020), Cristina Alvarado (Gen.2017), Alejandra Beltrán (Gen.2018) and Julieta Ghiringhelli (Gen. 2016).

Our alumni shared their experiences within the scientific area with High School students who are interested in continuing their university studies in STEM.
