🌿🌊 Step by Step: How to make a Makerthon! 🌴

As preparation for this innovative and intense challenge, our 7th and 8th graders took their journey into the field with a visit to Fundación Batis. There, they explored the wonders of mangrove ecosystems, learning firsthand how to plant, care for, and protect these vital environments. 🐚🌊

This hands-on experience sparked curiosity and deepened their understanding—fuel for the innovative solutions they’ll soon bring to life. 🌟

✨A meaningful milestone in faith and community! 🙏

During the month of April, a select group of our 8th, 9th, and 10th-grade students received the sacrament of Confirmación at Iglesia Torcoroma, surrounded by family, friends, and teachers. This special moment marks a deeper step in their spiritual journey, guided by values, reflection, and unity. 🤍⛪️

In Altamira, faith is more than just a tradition, it’s a pillar that nurtures empathy, responsibility and compassion. We are proud to walk alongside our students as they grow not only academically, but also spiritually, fostering a community rooted in love, respect, and meaningful connections. 🙌🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

🚀 What’s a Makerthon? It’s not just an event — it’s a movement of innovation, creativity, and teamwork! 💡⚙️

The Altamira International School’s Makerthon is a high-energy, hands-on innovation sprint where students become real-world problem solvers. Over the span of two weeks, participants dive deep into authentic challenges using the Design Thinking process — starting with Empathy, moving into Definition, sparking ideas in the Ideation phase, building Prototypes, and finally Testing their solutions. 🧩📡🔍

Students form teams and are guided by expert mentors from various fields. Through collaboration, research, and trial-and-error, they create practical, meaningful, and often surprising solutions to issues that matter. 🧰🔱

Whether it’s designing tools to improve community life, creating eco-friendly systems, or developing digital solutions — the Makerthon is where innovation becomes action. 🌎💭✨

It’s an intense opportunity to grow as critical thinkers, makers, and future changemakers. Are you ready to make, learn, and build a better future?🌟🔬
