STEM conference 2019: Interactive Science at the Universidad Tecnológica of Uruguay: A program based on the STEM model

In this session we attempt to approach one of the major concerns in higher education: the limited appropriation of knowledge that students have in basic sciences at the beginning of their academic activity. In Uruguay at the Universidad Tecnológica (UTEC) the Interactive Science Program (iCiencia) was implemented in 2018 as a transversal program to all UTEC students with the aim of improving the knowledge of freshmen in the areas of Biology Physics Mathematics and Chemistry integrating e-learning and blended learning oriented to the STEM teaching model and to promote the skills of the 21^st Century graduate involving information technologies (ICT).
