Python as a Tool for Social Mobility in Afro and Underrepresented Communities
summary
A community program called Python Schools teaches Python and Raspberry Pi to Afro youth (15–20) in eastern Cali, providing guaranteed transport and meals, donated computers, and hands-on project-based classes that convert initial attraction by food into sustained participation and active LinkedIn profiles. The project is partially funded by Colombia’s Ministry of Technology, faces constraints of space, weather, and funding, has begun local replication, and incorporates AI tools under ethical guidance.
