In Argentina, Samsung Innovation Campus has reached its second edition of the program since its launch in 2021. Samsung Innovation Campus seeks to empower young people, especially female students who are less seen in the field of STEM, through training in technological skills and providing the opportunity to broaden their employment prospects.

Driving positive changes for the future talent

The goal of Samsung Innovation Campus is to support the next generation to realize their full potential and drive positive social changes.

Fifty Argentine students participated in Samsung Innovation Campus, with hopes to become the next leaders of STEM in Argentina and the wider region. Consisting of various classes and workshops, Samsung Innovation Campus provided over 250 hours of training. The students were offered courses in key technological fields like robotics, programming, and coding. Following the solid curriculum and through interactive classes with their professors and peers, the students could quickly grasp how to use and program with Scratch, Arduino, Rurple HTML, CSS, Python, Java, and more.

One of the graduates, Francisco Zabala, said, “I already knew that Samsung Electronics is a powerhouse of today’s world. The company is changing the world day by day through innovation – which is what the company seeks and achieves. I am grateful to have such a company support the young generation of Argentina including myself with the quality education we have longed for.”

Opening doors for more women in tech

2022 was a special year for Samsung Innovation Campus in Argentina; it was the year when the program incorporated a special course focused on the Internet of Things for female students.

“To women who want to get into technology, I tell them not to give up and to be more inquisitive, ask questions, and be seen,” says María Jose Aguila González, a SIC participant. “You can always find help and you are not alone!”

In line with María’s expectations for women’s inclusion in the tech sector, Samsung Innovation Campus has provided the environment for female students to grow their potential. Such efforts of Samsung Innovation Campus to provide sustainable education for the youth have been well acknowledged, and the program was awarded Argentina’s Eikon Awards in the Sustainability Education category.

At Samsung, we seek to encourage young people and women to reach their full potential and become the next generation of innovators. Education is the building block to a more inclusive and sustainable future. We hope that Samsung Innovation Campus continues to empower the new generations by equipping them with skills of tomorrow.
