Node + JS Interactive Highlight – Women Pioneers in Colombia
Node + JS Interactive 2019 was held December 11-12, 2019, in Montreal and featured an amazing array of communities and individuals involved in JavaScript development. The OpenJS works to facilitate collaboration within the JavaScript development community and has, as its mission, an explicit goal of highlighting and supporting diverse groups from around the world involved in development of key JavaScript and web solutions and related technologies.
0Based in Medellín, Colombia, and holding meetups throughout the country (Medellín, Bogotá, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Neiva, Popayán), Pioneras Dev supports women developers from expert level to beginner. The Pioneras Dev mission: More women actively using tech skills to imagine, empower, vision, create and build a better world through updated computer programming languages.
In 2020, Pioneras Dev will be holding a 12-week bootcamp in Medellín and their first community conference PioConf.

What is Pioneras Dev?
Pioneras Dev is the biggest community of women in tech in Colombia with the main purpose of sharing, teaching and learning technologies, computer science, web programming, software engineering and related disciplines. The initiative started 4 years ago in Medellin-Colombia, and in 2018 it expanded to other cities including Cali and Barranquilla.
Pioneras is a group of more than 1200 women across Colombia who share their love for technology. One of our main goals is to unite and increase the number of women in STEM. Among the Pioneras, there are biologists, mathematicians, physicists, systems engineers, electronic engineers, robotics engineers, designers, programmers, data scientists, among others. We are an interdisciplinary group of women passionate about learning and programming, with the desire to increase our participation in areas such as science, innovation, and technology; especially now, in the process of digital transformation that the region and the country is experiencing.
Areas of Action
● Programming for non-engineers
● Update on technologies for engineers and programmers.
Our Dynamics
We hold meetings on the first Saturday of each month in different spaces provided by supporting companies, education entities and coworking spaces located within different cities in which we have grown as a community.
The talks and workshops are open to the public with prior registration on the MeetUp platform. (The PionerasDev community does NOT charge for their meetings or materials used).
Our Plans:
