  • 1. H2STEAM program, OpenBioFab, Lima, Perú

Description

The present paper shows the design of a Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM), which incorporate digital fabrication and Do-It-Yourself philosophy to make possible an effective scientific experience in public schools from vulnerable areas. This low cost STEAM education program is oriented to health and humanitarian response and has been designed based on the context of areas where the El Niño–Southern Oscillation event caused damage last year (2017). This novel program is called “H2STEAM” and is focused on the teacher training method to ensure the sustainability of its implementation. We believe that a humanitarian and health-oriented educational program will give students and teacher’s knowledge and positive attitude to confront any challenge in their community, making possible an impact through collaboration toward climate change and social displacement.
