Women in Technology
On March 8, 2026 we gathered at Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira for Women in Tech. On the programme: Melissa Escobar Gutiérrez, Mayra Valentina Velásquez.
Our meetup for women’s month in technology — celebrating the impact of women in tech with conversations about creativity, AI, and community.
Talks
The Art of Code
Speaker: Melissa Escobar Gutiérrez
When did code stop feeling like magic and become a to-do list? In the daily routine of software development it is easy to forget that programming is, at its core, one of the purest forms of creative expression. This talk explores how AI is not just a productivity tool but the bridge between two seemingly opposite worlds — art and code — and shows how Google’s AI tools can become our ‘digital brushes’ to prototype ideas and turn complex concepts into sensory experiences.
The invisible code of a woman in technology
Speaker: Mayra Valentina Velásquez
An honest look at the inner factors that shape a woman’s growth in the tech industry: the mindsets, the learning paths, and the beliefs that can either fuel or limit the journey. A reflection that meets women — and the people who work alongside them — where they are.
