The past Monday, October 20, 22 4th grade students from the Technical Industrial Educational Institution of Turmequé, Boyacá, They lived a day full of learning, technology and fun in the main headquarters of IMS Business Group, located in Celta Trade Park in Funza, Cundinamarca.
This experience was possible thanks to the SiembraTIC Foundation, an organization that promotes access to connectivity and digital education in rural areas of Colombia.
An unforgettable experience
For many of the children, it was their first time leaving their hometown. Their enthusiasm was evident: they wanted to learn how networks, cables, and the tools that make it possible to connect to the internet, the one they use every day, work.
During the day, Edgar Torres, Network Director IMS and Iván Serrano, Project Manager, they explained to them in a simple way how the optical fiber connects Colombian homes and why technology is key to the country's development.
The children's curiosity filled the room with questions and laughter. One of the most special moments was when they realized that, behind every connection, there are people working to bring education and knowledge to every corner of the country.
In addition to touring the facilities, students enjoyed recreational activities, games, and prizes, making this day an unforgettable experience.
Between smiles and amazement, the little ones understood that the Technology can also be a path to dream and build a better future..
For Olga Pulido, her accompanying teacher, the experience had a profound meaning:
“For these children, it's a wonderful experience. Some have never left their hometown, and coming to a company like this opens their minds and hearts. Knowing that there are people who once dreamed of the same thing as them gives them hope. These experiences leave a positive mark on both them and me.”
From the SiembraTIC Foundation we believe that Technology has the power to transform lives. That's why we work to ensure that children and adolescents in rural areas have access to the internet, devices, and digital resources that enhance their learning.
