Guatemalan STEAM Program Students First to Participate in IVSS
Magdalena Waleska Aldana Segura has participated as a IVSS Judge and is certified as a GLOBE educator, supporting K–12 students who participate in the International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS). Her students have been the first and only Guatemalan group participating in the IVSS. Their projects motivated students to present internationally in several congresses, thus improving their sense of self-esteem and achievement.
Students were able to present live to researchers and professor from Ibero-American institutions. They showed their project, presented their results, and were able to motivate other students and teachers to participate in the activities.
