Students were part in various events' preparation, presentation, prototype building, and poster presentation for Electroweek (a hybrid presentation with an implementtion in the metaverse to enable students to network with peers).
A STEAM Club was established where students may participate in hybrid and virtual modalities in order to increase science awareness in K–12 pupils. The experience is recounted, and the implementation's outcomes are reported.
Also, Students had the opportunity to participate in the Iberoamerican Science Education Congress of the UNESCO Chair for Scientific Education for Latin America and the Caribbean as part of the Conference involvement of the STEAM Program.
Finally, the students took part in the twice-monthly, award winning, Leon Lederman Seminar Series, where more than 91 internationally renowned experts—including three Nobel Prize winners, two Breakthrough Prize awardees, and several high profile speakers with a number topics, breakthroughs, and developments of international experimental collaborations.
More than 1,300,000 participants from all over the world attended these seminars.
