In strong partnership with the Center for Educational Innovation (CIED) at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB), Coromoto2020 is celebrating an important milestone this coming November with the certification of 48 teachers from the 3rd cohort of the Computational Thinking Diploma in Caracas. Throughout their learning journey, these educators have shown incredible enthusiasm and commitment to bringing new digital skills into their classrooms. On top of their dedicated coursework, several of these inspiring teachers have taken their passion a step further by competing in regional and international robotics competitions, proving just how far their dedication can reach.
At the same time, 63 teachers in Caracas have been giving their best in the 4th cohort of the Pedagogical Mediation of Learning Diploma. Their energy and drive have been truly uplifting, especially as they navigated the disruption brought by the recent double earthquake. Showing remarkable strength, every single one of these teachers has successfully returned to their training, eager to keep growing and refining the way they guide and support their students every day.
Meanwhile, in La Guaira, 81 teachers came together to start their journey across the 4th cohort of Computational Thinking and the 5th cohort of Pedagogical Mediation of Learning, enthusiastically attending their initial hands-on sessions at UCAB's computer labs. Sadly, the double earthquake brought a heartbreaking loss to this close community with the passing of two beloved teachers. To stand by the educators through such a painful time, our team organized visits and psychological support sessions to provide emotional care and accompaniment. Despite the deep tragedy, the remaining teachers shared a clear and overwhelming desire to keep moving forward with their studies. To honor their resilience and dedication, we plan to resume the diploma sessions in January 2027, continuing to walk alongside them every step of the way.
