In the different educational establishments, teachers have seen for themselves how talented, but vulnerable young people end up being part of the armed conflict in Colombia (drug trafficking and criminal gangs), some even fail to finish their basic studies.
This group of volunteer teachers was able to show that young people who were part of their training in STEM areas were less likely to join criminal groups, and easily continued their university education and quickly entered the labor market, changing their family environment and social, thanks to the prosperity that this type of companies provides them.
They also noted that some students were more vulnerable to being recruited by criminal gangs, due to not having a support network to guide them once they finished their basic secondary education.
Volunteer teachers: Group of regular teachers from an educational institution, who donate their time, overtime, to train young students of the institution in STEM knowledge.
PLEASE DESCRIBE WHAT NEEDS YOU IDENTIFY? HOW WILL THE PROJECT MEET THESE NEEDS? WHO WILL BE THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS PROJECT? CITE AN ESTIMATED NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES.
During the field work with the different volunteer teachers, the lack of modern teaching tools for STEM teaching was noted, in addition to a support network that accompanies young people during their professional training process, until they enter the workforce.
This project can change this reality by giving a greater goal, STEM education plays a crucial role in reducing violence by promoting social and emotional skills, providing technological tools to prevent bullying, and fostering a collaborative and supportive educational environment. The combination of interdisciplinary approaches and active participation in the community are essential to address this challenge comprehensively.
Number of people benefited: This project hopes to empower more than 5,000 young people in grades 8, 9, 10 and 11 in the first year, who will participate in the STEM incubators and use the teaching laboratories in their regular training.

SUSTAINABILITY:
Within the project, agreements will be made with institutions for the proper use of donated teaching equipment through audits and learning results, number of young people impacted, improvement of academic performance, support for events where students and teachers show their results, such as :
- More inclusive educational environment with good academic performance
- Results of new methods to solve problems through creativity and skills to manage conflicts more constructively.
- Reduction of the expulsion of young people for being victims of the armed conflict (Consumption, drug sales, social incorporation, family problems)
- An annual technological capabilities fair in the city, where the city's EIs participate with the seedbeds that were sponsored in the project.
- Participation of teachers and their student groups in national or international technological events, such as the Ondas program or excursions to NASA
- Articulation of the project to the training of each institution through article 14 of the law of law 115 of 1994, as a transversal project and labor skills in the institution.
