Empowering Children Through STEAM Education: Introducing "Robótica en Ciudad Cerebro"
We are excited to introduce you to a groundbreaking initiative that embodies our commitment to empowering children through education: "Robótica en Ciudad Cerebro." This innovative project, developed in collaboration with local organizations in Manizales, Caldas, Colombia, aims to provide STEAM-based education to children, with a particular focus on those from low-income families and children on the autism spectrum.
At the heart of "Robótica en Ciudad Cerebro" lies the belief in the transformative power of interdisciplinary learning. By integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, we strive to create a holistic educational experience that nurtures not only academic skills but also critical thinking, teamwork, and acceptance of diversity.

By integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, we strive to create a holistic educational experience that nurtures not only academic skills but also critical thinking, teamwork, and acceptance of diversity.
Our objectives are clear:
1. Provide STEAM-based education to children in Manizales, promoting interdisciplinary learning and holistic development.
2. Foster critical thinking, teamwork, and acceptance of diversity among participating children, particularly those on the autism spectrum.
3. Empower families from low-income backgrounds by equipping them with knowledge and resources to support their children's educational and social development.
4. Establish a sustainable model for inclusive education that can be replicated in other communities facing similar challenges.
To achieve these objectives, "Robótica en Ciudad Cerebro" will offer a range of activities, including curriculum development, training workshops for educators and families, hands-on STEAM workshops for children, community engagement events, and robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to ensure the effectiveness of our efforts.
We envision a future where every child, regardless of their background or abilities, has access to quality education and the opportunity to reach their full potential. "Robótica en Ciudad Cerebro" represents a significant step towards realizing this vision, and we are excited about the positive impact it will have on the lives of children and families in Manizales, Caldas, and beyond.
As supporters of Global Family Support Foundation, your continued dedication and generosity make initiatives like "Robótica en Ciudad Cerebro" possible. We invite you to join us on this journey as we work together to empower children and build a more inclusive and equitable society.

Budget Allocation:
$5
- Set of basic craft supplies (construction paper, markers, glue, etc.)
- These supplies can be used for creating simple craft projects related to robotics, fostering creativity and fine motor skills.
$20
- Small robotics kits or components (like mini motors, gears, and wheels)
- These kits can be used for simple hands-on activities to introduce children to basic concepts of robotics in a fun and engaging way.
$50
- Lego Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set
- This set includes programmable Lego bricks, sensors, and motors, allowing children to build and program simple robots, promoting problem-solving skills and logical thinking.
$100
- Arduino Starter Kit
- This kit provides various electronic components and a microcontroller board, enabling children to learn programming and electronics by building their own projects, including basic robots.
$500
- Raspberry Pi Starter Kit
- This kit includes a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, peripherals, and accessories, allowing children to explore more advanced robotics projects and programming concepts.
$1000
- Subscription to an online robotics learning platform or educational software
- This would provide access to interactive lessons, tutorials, and projects tailored to children's age and skill level, offering a structured learning experience in robotics and programming.
$5000 +
- Establishment of a dedicated robotics workshop space
- This could include purchasing durable furniture, storage solutions, tools, and equipment necessary for conducting hands-on robotics activities safely and efficiently. Additionally, it could cover the cost of hiring skilled instructors or facilitators to lead workshops and provide guidance to the children.
