Challenge

English is key to success in the professional world, however English education is not accessible to all. There also exists a significant lack of women in STEM which limits our possibilities and the generation of new ideas. | El aprendizaje del ingles es una competencia clave en el mundo profesional, sin embargo no todos tienen acceso. Asi mismo existe una falta significativa de mujeres en ciencia y tecnologia que lo que limita nuestras posibilidades y la generacion de nuevas ideas.

Solution

We offer students the opportunity to learn English with Duolingo en Accion and thrive in the professional world. We also provide leadership to young women and encourage them to pursue science and technology in MenTe en Accion. | Ofrecemos a estudiantes la oportunidad de aprender ingles con Duolingo en Accion, equipandolos para tener exito en el mundo profesional. Tambien buscamos dotar de liderazgo a mujeres jovenes y animarlas perseguir carreras en la ciencia y tecnologia con MenTe en Accion.
