Hijuelas, Chile
Sofía Dorta, 15 years old, third-year high school student, Chilean. Spanish and English speaker. Mandarin Chinese and Japanese student.

She became a programmer at the age of 9, studying programming languages such as Javascript, Python, HTML, C++, to name some.

At the age of 10, she became certified as a programmer through a Ruby on Rails fullstack. During this period, she participated in many national hackathons.

It was in one of these events, a chatbot workshop using Watson Conversation, that IBM noticed her. She was invited by IBM to create a chatbot using this technology and present it at the INDEX developer conference in San Francisco, where she had a booth to show how it was built using WC and Node-RED. She also presented about WC at Cloud & Data, Argentina.

She began giving talks to bring people closer to technology. She created a workshop for children to introduce logical thinking, together with Inacap, Santiago. She took this workshop to the FIIS event in Antofagasta. She gave a talk to celebrate the day of girls in ICT in Concepción, Chile.
She attends the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile since the age of 11, where she has acquired knowledge about Operating Systems and Networks, Advanced Programming, WWW Applications and Technology and currently, Artificial Intelligence.

She founded Code Classroom, a project that arises from the need to share knowledge and technological advances, provide the necessary tools for the development of logical thinking in schools and teach about cybersecurity and other concepts such as the open source philosophy, among others.

Thanks to the help of the Linux Foundation, she attended 2018, 2020 and 2022 Open Source Summit conferences in Europe and North America. In 2018 she was invited to Scotland to attend OSS and meet Linus Torvalds. After that experience, she felt more motivated to make a change in the world, sharing the open-source philosophy in her talks and introducing the diversity of operating systems to those who don't have access to that sort of knowledge. The Linux Foundation also gave Sofía a scholarship with the LFD430 and LFD420 courses, which provided a lot of knowledge in her education. Currently, she tries to create change through Code Classroom.
