When quarantine was declared in Honduras due the coronavirus outbreak; it was impossible for us to be in schools with the children, doing STEM experiments. Our Executive Board have been thinking “How can we still do the K12 program? Even with the distance limitations”. By some brainstorming we concluded that we could break distance barriers with the help of the internet, and that, was the moment in which our new strategy was born. We named it Quarantine K12 and it’s a series of videos filmed by our members in which they do STEM experiments from their homes; these videos, were sent to schools in different regions in our country. The teachers were of great help since they will be assigning them as homework for the kids to watch and probably do them at home.
