Lab4U and Camanchaca: Expanding Opportunities for Students Through Science Education
By Lab4U Team
The Lab4Sea Program, an innovative collaboration between Lab4U and Camanchaca, has been supporting teachers and students since 2023 at four schools in the south of Chile. This initiative enhances science learning in classrooms by integrating technology as an ally through Lab4U’s educational tools and resources.
This program has marked a turning point in science education in the region, offering students and teachers a transformative learning experience. It strengthens their STEM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) while promoting sustainability awareness centered around the fishing industry and its production processes.
Beyond classroom activities, Lab4Sea has played a pivotal role in supporting participating schools during the 2024 Regional Science, Technology, Robotics, and Environment Fair. A highlight of this event was the experiment titled “The Journey of the Mackerel” 🐟, which demonstrated to attendees the relationship between ocean currents and the behavior of the jack mackerel, one of Camanchaca’s most renowned products.
We anticipate future editions pave an inspiring path to continue shaping new generations of young people committed to science and environmental stewardship. From southern Chile to the world!
