Live coding in Latin America has always been tied to educational access concerns and has been disseminated through the region by way of free workshops offered outside of academic institutions. Although there is significant live coding activity in Latin America, live coding outside of the European context has been little explored. We interviewed 11 female practitioners active in live coding nodes in Latin America to uncover the challenges this group faces in terms of access to music education and live coding with the aim of determining what strategies can be implemented to mitigate these challenges and promote diversity in the future. We also consider the role of collective activity and how interaction between live coding nodes in the region has led to the formation of safe spaces in which participants can share resources. The results show that live coding offers attractions for those who have faced challenges in music academia while those with non-music backgrounds found an introduction to sound creation through live coding. This suggests that live coding provides new opportunities for inclusiveness that could be taken advantage of by music academics.

拉丁美洲的实时编码一直与教育机会问题联系在一起，并通过学术机构之外提供的免费研讨会的方式在该地区传播。尽管拉丁美洲有大量的实时编码活动，但欧洲背景之外的实时编码却很少被探索。我们采访了拉丁美洲活跃于现场编码节点的 11 名女性从业者，以揭示该群体在获得音乐教育和现场编码方面面临的挑战，旨在确定未来可以采取哪些策略来缓解这些挑战并促进多样性。我们还考虑了集体活动的作用，以及该地区实时编码节点之间的交互如何导致参与者可以共享资源的安全空间的形成。结果表明，现场编码对于那些在音乐学术界面临挑战的人来说很有吸引力，而那些非音乐背景的人则通过现场编码了解了声音创作。这表明现场编码为音乐学者可以利用的包容性提供了新的机会。
