POWAR STEAM is a R+D studio in educational innovation focused on the planet, which designs methodologies, workshops and learning objects for communities, schools and homes. We help in the conceptualisation and implementation of small school and community innovation laboratories (SiLabs), with which we want to empower people in the use of emerging digital manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, code and electronics. And we also help implement school gardens for learning and research related to food, its process and sustainability in search of food security for all. Our purpose is to empower people through knowledge, skills and tools that allow them to be more resilient to the changes of the 21st century, in search of a planet-centred future for all.
