Promoting Guatemalan Science Heroines

Charla por Alejandra Estrada, Ingeniera Química a cargo de la línea 2 de producción de la planta San Miguel
Cementos Progreso, together with the Secretariat of Science and Technology -SENACYT- and the Carlos F. Novella Foundation, held the event "Heroines of Science" at INEB San Juan de Dios, zone 6, Guatemala, as part of the World Women's Day activities.

The activity included inspiring cases and shared the experiences of young women who have struggled to excel and stand out in scientific subjects.

Two women shared their experiences and inspired the public-school students: María Álvarez, national robotics team captain, as wells well as of the world delegation that represented Guatemala in the World Robotics Olympiad; and Alejandra Estrada, Chemical Engineer in charge of production line 2 at the San Miguel plant.

Marjorie and Alejandra’s leadership and commitment are examples of perseverance and tireless struggle.
