Fundación Paraguaya is a non-profit organization that funds self-sustaining schools, one being Escuela Agricola Cerrito, in Benjamin Aceval. These schools promote the learning of various technical skills to empower students towards promising careers. As part of their initiatives, the school has introduced STEM education, launching a robotics program using the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP). The objective was implementing the course in Escuela Agricola Cerrito by facilitating workshops with students and professors, and by developing materials in Spanish including presentations, lesson plans, a tutorial video, extra tools, and a website to make the course accessible to teach in other schools and in other Spanish speaking countries. To achieve this we conducted classroom observations, interviews, surveys, and a focus group to gather information about teaching and class dynamics.
