POWAR STEAM
We want to train citizens to become change-makers, that's why we design problem-based methodologies and objects to promote innovation and creativity in students while fostering other skills for the 21st century.
We investigate the role of education as a tool to strengthen societies towards a more sustainable world, in which innovation and creativity are skills that help communities become more resilient in different areas such as climate change and food security.

Award-winning Colombian Creative Director, university professor, and Audiovisual Producer, with a master’s degree in Design for Emergent Futures, based in Barcelona. With more than 15 years of experience creating ideas, campaigns, products, services, and innovations for brands and NGOs around the globe, I started my career in CityTV, a TV channel in Bogotá, Colombia, as a producer and content generator for different TV shows, then I switched to work in advertising at Mullen Lowe SSP3, where I started as a copywriter, and quickly became Creative Director for various local and global brands, and some of my work was awarded in the most important creativity festivals. In 2016, I moved to Guatemala to serve as General Creative Director for La Fábrica y Jotabequ, GREY Guatemala. After nearly four years in this position, I moved to Spain for graduate school and received a master’s degree in Design for Emergent Futures from The Institute of Advanced Architecture of Cataluña and ELISAVA School of Design and Engineering in Barcelona and a Fab Academy certificate from the MIT Center of Bits and Atoms, and their "Academy of How to make (almost) anything," in 2020. Now I have been living in Barcelona for the last few years doing consultancies in branding, communication strategy and creativity, and also doing lectures and workshops around innovation, digital fabrication, and the future of food and education, while I work in a methodology for teaching planet centered innovation.

O que o/a inspirou a fazer este projeto?
The education of the last century considered the memorization of knowledge as the most important, but new theories suggest that the highest level of knowledge is creation when after understanding information and analyzing it critically you can create something new with it.
That's why we focus our methodologies, workshops and projects on teaching skills with which people can create new things from knowledge mixed with their experience.
