A total of 39 female students from ten schools in Navarre participated in a new edition of the European guidance program WISE – Women in STEM & Digital Empowerment, held in Pamplona under the theme “Data Science for a Greener Tomorrow.” The initiative aims to inspire STEM vocations among young people, focusing on sustainability and digital innovation.
The activity took place at the IRIS Navarra Digital Innovation Hub and was promoted by the EduTech Cluster, in collaboration with the Department of Education of the Government of Navarre, within the framework of the European WISE project, funded by the European Social Fund through the Social Innovation+ initiative.
This edition has included students from IES Mendillorri, IES Padre Moret Irubide, IESO Pedro de Atarrabia (Villava), Colegio Calasanz (Pamplona), IES Eunate, IES Biurdana, Colegio Regina Pacis (Burlada), IES Sarriguren, Escuela Técnico Sanitaria de Navarra (ESTNA) and IES Julio Caro Baroja.
Applying data science to environmental challenges
Over three days, participants engaged in an intensive experience focused on exploring the potential of data to analyze and address environmental challenges. The program combined hands-on sessions, collaborative activities, and creative exercises.
The students worked on identifying local problems, designing innovative, data-driven solutions, and presenting their proposals to a jury in a pitch format. They also participated in initiatives such as environmental analysis using green mapping techniques, fostering skills like critical thinking, communication, and teamwork.
Training to boost the development of digital talent
In this context, BILBOMÁTICA was responsible for awarding the prizes: a specialized training program in Data and Artificial Intelligence at Naveia, ALTIA's technology school, consisting of three courses designed to strengthen their digital skills.
This initiative aligns with our commitment to training as a driver of development, helping to transform interest in technology into real opportunities for professional growth, especially in fields where gender gaps persist.
Commitment to equality and sustainability
Through our participation in programs like WISE, we reinforce our commitment to promoting technological vocations and building a more inclusive ecosystem, focusing on training and access to knowledge as key elements to move towards a more sustainable and equitable model.
