STEAM INITIATIVE

During these challenging times, we successfully pivoted, delivered high quality programming, and are excited to further amplify our work in order to reach larger Latin American audiences, increasing our impact.

The Science & Innovation Summer Camp Brings talented students from different countries together for unique collaborations with university scientists and researchers from a wide range of studies and highly interactive, experiential learning, as well as opportunity to share their cultures and develop their leadership and entrepreneurial skills that only the STEAM initiative can provide. STEAM Labs Provides younger students with an opportunity to explore the sciences, and to connect with like minded young and experienced STEAM professionals. The Professional Training Workshop Teaches STEAM Instructors solid project-based learning and teaching pedagogy, expanded scientific knowledge, and classroom lessons so that teachers can better engage.
