Puntas de Valentín, Salto, full of little scientists.

TEN RURAL SCHOOLS, WITH MORE THAN 140 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE MEETING AND THE DELIVERY OF MATERIALS THAT TOOK PLACE ON JUNE 6 AT THE RURAL SCHOOL N° 54 OF PUNTAS DE VALENTÍN.

It was a celebration where children and experiments were the protagonists, and there was no shortage of fun, joy, curiosity and intrigue.

Thanks to the collaboration of Schandy, ten rural schools in Salto are part of the Exploration Zone project, which aims to incorporate new teaching-learning methodologies in natural sciences in schools.

Challenging but achievable workshops and actions will be implemented with teachers, promoting significant learning in natural sciences by relating the thematic content to the daily experience of children. This will foster a culture of continuous improvement, improvement, trust and pride in the rural school. In addition, students are encouraged to develop critical and creative skills through observation, experimentation, and logical reasoning. The initiative also includes the provision of teaching and technological resources that facilitate the teaching of science in an interactive and dynamic way.

The Exploration Zone project not only impacts the academic field, but also strengthens the community bond, involving families and neighbors in the educational process. This promotes inclusive, quality education in rural areas, contributing to the comprehensive development of children and the enrichment of the community.

The day at Puntas de Valentín was a clear example of how science education can be transformative and motivating, sowing in young people the seeds of curiosity and love for learning.
