Laboratoria is way more than a typical coding school
When Mariana founded Laboratoria she decided to look for talent where no one else was looking. Today, Laboratoria identifies young women with high potential, despite their economic limitations, and gives them the opportunity to become awesome developers. The result is life transformation for each of their new coders and a new source of female tech talent from Latin America to the world. In 2016, Mariana was invited to participate in a panel at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit with Mark Zuckerberg and President Barack Obama.
