During the last period, 27 young people had 65 hours of training in thematic and methodological techniques of electronics and programming, they learn from the basic level of circuits to create their own projects using sensors and electronic elements. This way, they contributed to solve problems of their social environment in the City of Buriticá - Antioquia.
In the course of these workshops they developed around 9 prototypes such as, the machine that rotates the harvested coffee beans and allow them to dry; allowing them to invest the time in other activities and optimizing the time invested in coffee processes. Also, the application of our meteorology helped to develop a humidity and temperature sensors to monitor meteorological parameters in the city and anticipate the probability of landslides and harvest. These examples show how the knowledge received in the “Innovation Laboratories” empowered them to solve real problems in their own context.
Between April and June 2022, we seek to impact 50 young people in our workshops developing their skills in principles of electronics, robotics, and programming, and encourage them to provide solutions to problems previously identified in their own contexts.
By supporting this initiative, we can continue to transform the lives of those who see in technology and innovation the grate opportunity to actively contribute their own reality and context of their communities.
