As part of the activities of the “Resolute Sentinel 2023” exercise taking place in Peru, ten students from the “She is Astronaut” program had the incredible opportunity to visit the Operations Center of Satellite images of the Space Agency of Peru (CONIDA by its acronym in Spanish). During this event, the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers for young people and the Embassy’s commitment to supporting these initiatives were emphasized.
