  • Experimento introduced in 2014
  • In Mexico, Experimento is combined with the Mexican educational program Sistemas de Enseñanza Vivencial e Indagatoria de la Ciencia (SEVIC) from INNOVEC
  • Deployed mostly in kindergartens, but also in preschool and primary schools in the states of Colima, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Mexico City, Mexico’s State, Puebla, Querétaro, Tamaupilas, Veracruz, and Yucatán
  • Emphasis on STEM support for girls
  • Training for about 1,320 educators
  • Around 83,700* children reached

* The number assumes that every instructed kindergarten or elementary school teacher shares the knowledge 5 times with one group or class, and a subject teacher shares it 5 times with two classes.

Country-specific developments

  • Specific curricular adaptation of Experimento I 4+ and I 8+ and combination with SEVIC program from our partner institution, INNOVEC The education program Experimento was adapted for the Mexican school system in a step by step process by INNOVEC (Innovación en la Enseñanza de la Ciencia). Since then, subject modules from Experimento I 4+ and I 8+ have been specifically developed for the Mexican curriculum that incorporate new units from the SEVIC – Experimento program. These are deployed in preschools and kindergartens but are also widespread in primary schools. Harnessing the synergy of two science-based education programs enriches teaching and learning in Mexico while positively impacting continuing education for teachers.
  • Targeted STEM support for girls Since 2016, Siemens Stiftung has worked together with UNESCO México to specifically promote STEM education for preschool-aged girls. This collaboration is based on an adapted version of the education program Experimento.
