Description
The Technical Initiation workshop is a hands-on learning space that generates great excitement and curiosity among children and teenagers. Here, participants acquire skills in welding, basic electrical connections, faucet repair and installation, and repairing simple objects such as tables, chairs, and toys. Additionally, they learn how to use sharp tools like saws and other cutting instruments.
Therapeutic Achievement
This predominantly practical workshop offers children and adolescents the opportunity to learn basic techniques through various activities. Over the course of five main activities, young participants develop fine motor skills, attention, and concentration. The learning process in activities such as welding and painting helps assess their ability to alternate between strength and precision, crucial for fine motor development. The workshop also encourages self-assessment, as the children critically analyze their work and performance in tasks requiring precision and proper use of personal protective equipment. This self-assessment is essential for developing a high tolerance for frustration, discipline, and methodological work skills.
Formative Achievements
The practical focus of the workshop is one of its greatest attractions. Children and teenagers learn directly from their instructors, who teach essential techniques in each session. The workshop activities require concentration, standing for extended periods, and working both in the workshop and in different areas of the home to carry out maintenance tasks. The more advanced and trustworthy students take on more complex responsibilities, always under the teacher’s supervision. Through activities like welding, painting, electrical connections, assembling and disassembling motors, and plumbing, participants acquire skills that allow them to contribute to maintenance and repair work around the home.
Productive Achievements
Ongoing technical training improves the safety and operation of equipment, furniture, and home installations. The methodological approach reduces energy costs and prevents injuries. As children and teenagers progress in the workshop, their age and maturity determine the type of work they can confidently perform. Upon leaving the home, the adolescents will be trained to carry out basic repair and maintenance tasks, applying the knowledge they have acquired in practical life. They may work as assistants in maintenance, metalworking, electricity, plumbing, and other trades.
Technified Irrigation
Technified irrigation is a technique that optimizes water use in agriculture through the application of advanced technology. This technique allows for the determination of when, how much, and how to irrigate, applying water, fertilizers, and nutrients efficiently and safely. Technified irrigation helps reduce water consumption, decrease labor effort, increase production per unit area, and improve the quality of agricultural products. This approach promotes efficient water management, supporting sustainable growth and the modernization of agricultural communities.
