C3Tec at Home

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, C3Tec developed virtual meetings like workshops, talks and interviews so people could enjoy them at home.

We have professionals that with their skills and experiences, aligned to global STEAM celebratory events, have been able to provide information, knowledge, and fun education to all of our followers, from the comfort of their homes. We have continued to offer this as part of our Education Program.

Return to School Safe and Healthy

Since the start of the pandemic in early 2020, concerns have increased about the effects that it would have in our daily lives and mental health. This new scenario entailed a reorganization of time and space, altered our routines, in addition to the transformations it caused in our relationships.

The C3Tec along with the Ángel Ramos Foundation and the Carlos Albizu University, decided to join forces and have a back to school activity with educational and interactive talks for families about going back to school amid the COVID-19 pandemic, how to identify and manage feelings, personal hygiene, good nutrition, and how to behave during natural disasters, and others. We also integrated art, documentaries, music, and characters in a dynamic way so families could enjoy the day while learning.

TUTORING AND VIRTUAL ASSISTANCE

C3Tec recognizes that learning in a laboratory setting is more than the command of several devices, it is also a strategy for thought formation. In order to provide a significant experience for students, we have to address their interests, but if the experience is not within their interests, we have to create that interest.

During the past year, we continued offering tutoring and assistance in different subjects. However, this year we started providing interactive tutoring in the laboratories, as a strategy to promote the construction of their own knowledge.
