  We discuss the challenges and findings of organizing an online event in
Spanish, consisting of a series of introductory workshops leading up to a
quantum hackathon for Latin America. 220 Spanish speakers were registered, 66%
of whom self-identified as being at an introductory level of quantum computing.
We gain a better picture of the impact of quantum computing in Latin America,
and the importance of generating educational resources in Spanish about quantum
computing. Additionally, we report results on surveying the participants by
country; educational status; self-reported levels of quantum computing, linear
algebra, and Python competency; and their areas of interest within quantum.
  This event was organized by Quantum Universal Education with the Centro de
Investigaci\'on en Computaci\'on del Instituto Polit\'ecnico Nacional (CIC-IPN)
as the host institution, in collaboration with a number of organizations and
companies: IBM Quantum, Xanadu, Multiverse Computing, Quantum Universal
Education, Quantum Hispano, QMexico, Haq.ai, Dive in Learning. This was part of
a larger event, the Qiskit Fall Fest 2021, as one of several hackathons
organized around the world in a similar span of time. In each Qiskit Fall Fest
hackathon, participants were challenged to form teams of up to 5, to develop in
5 days a project using the IBM Qiskit framework.
