Silao/Gto News

Milca Palomino is a 16-year-old girl from Irapuato, who, through the “Brighter Futures” program of IDEA GTO and BYJUS, developed “AMOXTLIC”, an application study, which can be used without an internet connection and whose objective is to support anyone who does not have this service, especially for educational purposes.

Milca came up with this idea when a young woman her age came to her house asking for a job. Milca was curious and asked why she had not continued studying, and the answer was that she could not see the material for her clases because she did not have internet at home, from this situation Milca set out to develop a solution for people like that girl, who due to their situation could not access the resources necessary for their education.

AMOXTLIC bears a certain resemblance to Microsoft, as explained by its creator, who personally developed the code that encompasses several applications. 

It has 5 different areas:

• Environmental Education, focused on ecology and care of nature
• Basic Education, focused on helping people complete their primary and secondary education
• STEM, which helps girls and boys become interested in science and technology
• Gender, so that they know and stay informed about this topic
• Arts, to promote artistic expression and greater knowledge of culture

To achieve her goal, Milca entered the Brighter Futures Program, which is developed thanks to a collaboration of IDEA GTO and the Indian multinational education technology BYJU’S, through which she earned certifications in mobile application programming, web platforms and video game developers, both in English and Spanish.

The Milca application is now available for download, it can be found at:
