First Conclusions
• Ongoing project in its 4th year• Students and teachers have achieved significant IT knowledge and practice• Source of motivation I: problem solving to turn their ideas into environmental projects• Source of motivation II: submitting projects to be eligible for funding.• Source of motivation III: being involved in an innovative program
• Museo Las Lilas (transportation, breakfast, lunch and brunch)• Municipal authorities•TV channels• Radio stations
More Broadly…
Where are we focused now?
• On the STEM Paradigm, emphasizing knowledge acquisition of communication tools, platforms and strategies mainly based on S & T as well as on communication and art convergence.
Finally…
• Beyond technological and social aspects, all stakeholders (CNC staff, teachers, students, administrators) involved in this program feel that by working together we are building a better world.
Thank you!
