Why we build this
Why we build this
In Chitagá, there isn’t a place to learn the skills this century demands. Many young people leave because they don’t find opportunities here. Others stay without tools to compete. Chitagá Tech was born to change that: a physical and digital space, created by professionals from the municipality, where anyone can train in technology without having to leave their land.
What we want to achieve
