The José Max León Bilingual School, within the framework of the Ethics of Care, developed from the Science Department an environmental education called “Navegantes project” in which all students participate.

A space in which Lionists learn about different environmental problems in their environment and propose solutions for them through training STEAM.

Goals:

• Provide a solution to a problem, close to the students’ reality.

• Involve STEAM areas.

• Promote gender equality.

• Motivate the participation of students in STEAM areas.

• Generate a Meaningful Life Experience in students.

• Social skills for group work, reflection and knowledge construction.

• Autonomy.

• Experiential learning: connecting previous knowledge. Metacognition.

In “Navegantes Project” students work on research projects by level around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In addition, the projects are articulated with the STEAM approach, allowing each idea to be worked transversally with the areas of Technology, Entrepreneurship, Arts and Mathematics, with the comparative methodology in design thinking phases.

The field trips have a research purpose, generating a learning experience that promotes the development of competencies through the curricular content.
