Last Friday, July 12, 4th- and 5th-grade students kicked off Design Day, a challenge-based event in which they put the skills acquired throughout the school year to the test under the new Technology curriculum.
Working in teams and against the clock, the students built a rotating base for a satellite model and programmed code to monitor its orbit. We were honored to welcome representatives from Tecnikids Mexico, who, together with teacher Victor Alvarado, served as judges and evaluated each team’s performance.
In the end, all students were able to grow both individually and as members of a team, developing essential skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, resilience, and the confidence to take on new challenges.

El pasado viernes 12 de julio, los alumnos de 4to y 5to grado inauguraron el Design Day, un día de retos en el cual los alumnos pusieron a prueba las habilidades adquiridas a lo largo del ciclo escolar bajo el nuevo currículum de la materia de Technology.
Formados en equipos y a contrarreloj, los niños construyeron una base giratoria para un modelo de satélite y programaron un código de monitoreo de la órbita del mismo. Contamos con la presencia de personal de Tecnikids México quienes, junto con el profesor Victor Alvarado, fungieron como evaluadores del desempeño de los grupos.
Al final, todos los alumnos lograron crecer tanto de manera individual como en equipo, desarrollando habilidades fundamentales como la colaboración, el pensamiento crítico, la resiliencia y la confianza para afrontar nuevos retos.
