At just eight, Mateo showed that programming knows no age limit. Competing on a global stage against students from all over the world, he earned two bronze medals in coding — a remarkable result for someone so young.

Behind that result is the team at Algorithmics Chacao, who guided him every step of the way. Wins like this don't happen by accident — they come from a student's curiosity and logic meeting the right coaching.

Mateo's story is a reminder of what this is really about: not just teaching kids to code, but giving them a stage to show what they're capable of.
