Summary

For a study environment in the Caribbean, temperature is important; "When the heat increases, school performance decreases." A study of academics from Harvard, UCLA and Georgia state universities came to that conclusion, who analyzed the test results of 10 million high school students over 13 years in the United States. Temperature has a direct impact on the body. Therefore, we must take care of it so that the temperature becomes an ally and for this our community participants count on you.

Challenge

Environmentally, our community micro-business incubator, community workshops, adult school and our supervised studies have spaces with the least possible noise, proper lighting, confortables espaces without distractions outside the study room, as these are harmful as a distraction in the educational environment and our teaching/learning process. For a study environment in the Caribbean, temperature is also important; counting on an average temperature the student feels comfortable to study.

Solution

"When the heat increases, school performance decreases." A study of academics from Harvard, UCLA and Georgia state universities came to that conclusion, who analyzed the test results of 10 million high school students over 13 years in the United States. The temperature is important so that the participants of the community feel comfortable in the place in which they study. It's about creating a good environment that allows them to concentrate.

Long-Term Impact

We currently have an internet (community hotspot) open to the entire community, a photocopier, a computer lab, four classrooms, a community garden, an industrial kitchen, a solar energy system, a rainwater collection system, etc. Temperature has a direct impact on the body. Therefore, we must take care of it so that the temperature becomes an ally and not an enemy and for this we count on you.
