Programa Semente
Project Maker
Individual Research Project (TPI)
Programa Semente empowers students to develop vital social-emotional skills through structured activities and proven pedagogical practices.By nurturing responsibility, resilience, empathy, and social awareness, the program supports holistic growth, preparing children and adolescents to thrive academically and personally, and to build ethical, positive relationships for life.
Students ignite innovation and meaningful learning through the maker activities, leading hands-on projects that begin with intentional provocations connected to their interests. By engaging with structured methodologies and curated materials and technologies, they drive purposeful, relevant projects that foster creativity, autonomy, and digital literacy.Supported by a wealth of resources, students transform the classroom into a vibrant, practical environment where learning is visible, emotionally engaging, and deeply connected to the real world.
Every March, Middle School and High School students choose a research topic and work under the guidance of a teacher to develop a rigorous investigation throughout the year, increasing in complexity and depth over time.The process culminates in an oral presentation at the end of August. TPIs are evaluated assessing both the quality of the written work and the effectiveness of the oral presentation. This approach not only strengthens research and analytical abilities, but also builds confidence, critical thinking, and public speaking skills.
