    Building LATAM’s future tech workforce with AI

    January 7, 2025
    Read this post in Spanish

    Estamos emocionados de celebrar el tercer año de Git Commit, nuestro programa anual dedicado a cerrar la brecha de habilidades tecnológicas y empoderar a estudiantes de todo el país. Este año, también nos enorgullece lanzar Git Commit 101, nuestro primer curso gratuito de IA en línea en español, disponible para estudiantes y educadores durante todo el año.

    ¿Por qué Uruguay?

    Con una de las tasas más altas de conectividad a internet en América Latina (más del 70%), lidera la región en transformación digital y educación. Su compromiso con la innovación se refleja en su clasificación entre las cinco principales economías latinoamericanas en el Índice Global de Innovación, destacándose en producción de conocimiento y desarrollo de capital humano.

    Programas como Git Commit prosperan en este entorno, alineándose perfectamente con la misión del país de construir una economía basada en el conocimiento y crear oportunidades para comunidades desfavorecidas.

    Presentamos Git Commit 101

    Este año, en colaboración con Microsoft AI for Good, lanzamos Git Commit 101, un curso gratuito de IA en línea transmitido en vivo desde el AI Co-Innovation Lab de Microsoft en Montevideo, el único laboratorio de este tipo en el hemisferio sur. El curso introduce a los estudiantes a los fundamentos de la IA, herramientas de GitHub y GitHub Copilot, brindándoles habilidades que pueden aplicar de inmediato. En sus primeras semanas, el curso en línea ya ha atraído a más de 20,000 espectadores.

    Nuestro evento presencial de Git Commit se llevó a cabo en Centros Educativos Impulso y la Universidad ORT. Juntos recibimos a 125 estudiantes, muchos de ellos de contextos vulnerables, provenientes de 13 instituciones participantes. Los estudiantes escucharon a oradores inspiradores, incluyendo al Dr. Juan M. Lavista Ferres, Vicepresidente Corporativo y Científico Principal de Datos del AI for Good Lab de Microsoft; Alejandro Pazos, Gerente País de Microsoft en Uruguay; Eliane Elbaum, Gerente del AI Co-Innovation Lab de Microsoft; y Mario Rodriguez, Director de Producto de GitHub.

    “Es muy importante que cada uno de ustedes reciba la mejor educación posible, porque es a través de la educación y la tecnología que vamos a abrir puertas. Es como, en última instancia, llegaremos al cielo,” compartió Rodriguez durante la ceremonia de clausura en el Laboratorio Tecnológico del LATU en Montevideo.

    El poder de la educación y la innovación

    Juntos, no solo estamos enseñando a los estudiantes cómo usar la tecnología, sino también empoderándolos para construir un futuro donde la innovación sea inclusiva, accesible y sostenible. Estamos emocionados de ver lo que harán los participantes de este año y esperamos con ansias Git Commit 2025.

    Sigamos alcanzando el cielo, juntos. 🚀


    We’re thrilled to celebrate the third year of Git Commit, our annual program dedicated to bridging the tech skills gap and empowering students across the country. This year, we’re also proud to launch Git Commit 101, our first free online AI course in Spanish, available to students and educators year-round.

    Why Uruguay

    With one of the highest rates of internet connectivity in Latin America (over 70%), Uruguay leads the region in digital transformation and education. Its commitment to fostering innovation is reflected in its top-five ranking in the Global Innovation Index among Latin American economies, excelling in knowledge outputs and human capital development.

    Programs like Git Commit thrive in this environment, aligning perfectly with the nation’s mission to build a knowledge-based economy and create opportunities for underserved communities.

    Introducing Git Commit 101

    This year, in partnership with Microsoft AI for Good, we launched Git commit 101, a free online AI course streamed live from Microsoft’s AI Co-Innovation Lab in Montevideo—the only lab of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The course introduces students to AI fundamentals, GitHub tools, and GitHub Copilot, equipping them with skills they can apply immediately. The online course has already attracted more than 20,000 viewers in its first few weeks.

    Our in-person Git Commit event was held at Centros Educativos Impulso and ORT University. Together we hosted 125 students, many from vulnerable backgrounds, from 13 participating institutions. Students heard from inspiring speakers including Dr. Juan M. Lavista Ferres, Corporate Vice President and Chief Data Scientist of the AI for Good Lab at Microsoft, Alejandro Pazos, Microsoft’s Country Manager in Uruguay, Eliane Elbaum, Manager of the Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab, and Mario Rodriguez, GitHub’s Chief Product Officer.

    “It’s very important that each of you receive the best education possible, because it’s through education and technology that we’re going to open doors. It’s how we’ll ultimately reach for the sky,” Rodriguez shared during the closing ceremony at the LATU Technology Laboratory in Montevideo.

    The power of education and innovation

    Together, we’re not only teaching students how to use technology, but also empowering them to build a future where innovation is inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. We’re excited to see what this year’s participants go on to do, and look forward to Git Commit 2025.

    Let’s continue to reach for the sky—together. 🚀
