TEACHER TRAINING
STEAM DIPLOMA FOR TEACHERS
WITH EMPHASIS ON ROBOTICS
The Diploma seeks to strengthen the pedagogical competencies of teachers, through the STEAM methodology with emphasis on Educational Robotics, and thus contribute to the improvement of the quality of education in Latin America.
This training goes hand in hand with the preparation of many students from Panama who compete in robotics tournaments, which allows them to put into practice the advantages of the STEAM methodology through gamification.
In Panama, the main partner and ally of this program has been the Ministry of Education (MEDUCA), as a funder and incentivizer of participating teachers since 2022.
