We have doubled the average use of technology in the classroom

Our teams teach teachers how to use and take full advantage of technology in their classrooms, to foster creativity, complex thinking, teamwork, research and problem solving in new ways. In less than 2 years schools with our STEM/Robotics teams have doubled the use of technology in the classroom from the Latin American average of 40% to 80%.

STEM/Robotics

We create robotic clubs for students from preschool to eleventh grade with the purpose of reinforcing science, technology and research skills, so that the students can forge their own future from an early age and have the basis to study courses related to this subject. Working with pulleys, motors, parts and cables has become one of the most fun classes for these students, who look to robotics as a different way to learn.

“A dream that I have in this moment is to be a woman leader in technology at a national level, and why not, at an international one; and now more than ever because we are surrounded by this whole world of technology and innovation”

Chica de robótica -01

The Marina Orth Foundation has not only given my classmates and me knowledge in the field of technology, but has also taught us to work as a team, to share our knowledge with others and to become girl leaders in our school and our community. I have left behind the concept of working alone that I had when starting the robotics club and I have learned that working with others produces greater results
