Abstract

In the context of the transition towards a notion of scientific citizenship in which different actors from academia and society participate, the idea of developing a research project on urban agriculture with social impact and projection arose. The main purpose consisted of raising awareness about STEAM competencies (environmental, technological, pedagogical and artistic), for students in the fifth grade of elementary school. It was done with the participation of teachers and students of the "El Carmelo" school, located in the town of Teusaquillo, in the city of Bogotá D.C. In the development of the project, important reflections arose regarding educational work on STEAM competencies to strengthen the relationship; Sustainability, Technology, learning and the arts, which were translated into specific problems of great importance for our societies such as food security, nutritional culture, prototyping culture and the strengthening of scientific citizenship. For the development of the above, two experimental practices were designed for home development, using in both cases bean seeds (variety cargamanto), which is easily acquired in times of food supply crisis. In this experimentation, sustainability, STEAM and learning skills were worked on. Time of Covid, allowed to take an unexpected turn and work not only with students but with their families. The reflections recorded in this primer are the result of this process.
