Chrysalis - Teacher's Book 2017

As part of the Prosperity Fund Program from the United Kingdom Embassy in Mexico, I co-authored with my colleague Michael Beckwith, the book “Chrysalis”, the first literature in spanish focusing on 21st Century Learning and Maker/STEAM Education. The book, divided in 5 chapters, is an introduction to constructionism/constructivism, 21st Century and Maker Skills such as 3D Modeling/printing, basic Arduino programming, etc. See a sample here. 

Today the book is used together with an online platform and physical workshop. In total more than 250 teachers have been trained with this materials all over Mexico.
