On the other hand, the Maker movement is strictly related to the development of STEAM competences since it allows students to work with Project Based Learning. As we know, the objective of the Maker movement among others, is to foster creative thinking and innovative practices in every classroom. Therefore, this workshop is designed to make students learn about the human explorations in the space by making their own rocket and launching it into space orbit.
In order to inspire a new generation of young people who see science and technology careers as an option for a life project, this workshop is paramount because students will experience and gain knowledge complementary to the formal curricular contents that they receive in their high school courses, where they will be able to assimilate concepts of physics, chemistry, mathematics and engineering, in a fun way. Besides, it will increase the curiosity of students to explore the universe and to believe in themselves as future astronauts.
This workshop is a collaboration among the Red de Colombos, the Cipsela Corporation, the United States Embassy in Colombia, the Boeing Company and the Pan American Foundation for Development.
