Final Project:

[REACCIÓN KIDS - Enviromental awareness through data by kids and youth!]

The background of this project is related to the work that I have been involved in the last 3 years that combines technology, education, community based development and kids & youth. Throught different projects like 'Kids Making Things' that Fablab El Salvador Association developed in 2015-2016 with Kate Samson (Cognitive Scientist) part of Creativity Labs of Indiana University. We are focus in create an ecosystem of projects related to digital fabrication but also with creativity fields supported in constructionism theory, maker culture and civic hacking with open hardware development.

The scope of this project intends to make a bridge between rural and urban communities in a real exchange of kids and youth of different social status. The intention is to start a dialogue to connect the new generation of kids and youth. Additionally it looks to reduce the social exclusion and try together to solve enviromental problems like air polution and 'Explore, Measure and Make Awareness' to find better ways to make solutions to this big challange in El Salvador, Latin America and globally throught REACCIÓN-Red de Acción Comunitaria.
