GitHub, in collaboration with Microsoft's Diversity and Inclusion Committee, launched a pilot program called Git Commit Uruguay to introduce over 60 high school students and recent graduates from a low-income neighborhood in Montevideo, Uruguay, to GitHub and open-source software. The program aimed to lower barriers to software development by providing courses taught by Spanish-speaking educators Luis Sanchez and Gustavo Lizarraga, covering topics such as Git commands, repository management, and project structuring. Upon completion, students were equipped with the skills to build their own cloud-based websites and establish GitHub profiles, aiding their pursuit of tech sector jobs. The program concluded with a ceremony featuring a speech by Mario Rodriguez, GitHub's VP of Product, emphasizing courage and perseverance. Future efforts include securing internships at the soon-to-open AI and IoT Insider Lab in Montevideo, marking a continued commitment to creating opportunities for these students.
