About the club

The club was founded by Alejandro Ramos @arhcoder in 2023 with the aim of sharing programming and technology knowledge that wasn't taught in his university's classrooms.

The club has grown over the years thanks to its instructors and students, notably Ángel Ponce @angelponcedev during 2023 and 2025. It is currently led by Vanessa Reteguín @vcardui

"If something can be automated, we automate it; if something can be learned, we learn it; if something can be taught, we teach it"

Alex Ramos
Founder of the Creating Programming Club

What's the point?

To find teams/partners with whom we can develop creative ideas involving programming code; to learn from everyone and teach what we discover
