Resumen
Abstract - The lack of –Science, Technology, Engineering
and Math– STEM skills in the Colombian students, has
stopped the development of abilities required in the
twenty one century. The kids and young people do not
consider STEM careers as a successful and viable life
project, because of the economy background. That is the
reason why scientist, technology entrepreneurs and nonprofit
organizations seek a social transformation by
expanding the access to high quality STEM education,
through programs that include projects in order to find
problem-based solutions, develop technical and cognitive
skills and real experiences with scientific and
technological material, incorporating 80% practical and
20% theoretical classes and the interaction between high
quality scientist and a rural community, in order to
share knowledge. This investigation shows the work
made by a Scientist team and a group of kids and young
people of the municipality of Túrreques, Nariño,
supported by the German technology Fischertehnik, the
Technical Academy of SENA and “Clubes de Ciencia
Colombia”, that allowed these kids to increase their selfconfidence
by using this technology and their logical
reasoning as an intention of contributing to the
realization of a better future in Colombia. This work is
opened to future research in the field of education and
science.
