Robotics for young women with disabilities

Dear friends,

Thanks to your support, we will begin the execution of the first training worskshop on March 23, 2019 followed by four other sessions for the first cohort of young women. We are now recruiting 15 young women who are deaf, to participate in this training in robotics, fully funded by the resources that you have donated through our GlobalGiving campaign.

At the same time, the Omar Dengo Foundation will start the implementation of two training courses for young deaf women through a grant with the Motorola Solutions Foundation. These training courses will be held starting April 4, 2019 and then on July 20 2019. Each of these training courses will include five different sessions for a total of 20 hours of training. Currently, we are also executing two training courses in robotics for young people with cognitive disabilities with the financial support of CAF America. The pictures in this report show young women benefited in these training courses.

We will carry out all these training courses with the technical and pedagogical excellence that characterizes all of Omar Dengo Foundation´s initiatives. We have more than 30 years of experience working in support of the educational system of Costa Rica, allowing us to collaborate with organizations such as GlobalGiving, but this is just the beginning. Your generous donations will help our efforts to keep bringing educational opportunities to these young women.

We want to keep working with you and our strategic partners to reach our goal of $10,000 for this project, and thus improve the quality and equity of learning opportunities of our beneficiaries.

Thank you!
