The competition was held at the Centro Escolar Profesor Daniel Cordón Salguero and, simultaneously, was transmitted via streaming - thanks to the support of DIGICEL - to the schools Buena Vista, Altos de Montecarmelo, Las Brisas, Leonardo Azcúnaga and Antonio José Cañas.

This project seeks to promote spaces for technological creativity and foster healthy competition among high school and middle and high school students.

The Proyecto Alto Impacto Soyapango is implemented by the Fundación Rafael Meza Ayau (FRMA)  with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and in coordination with the Ministerio de Educación, Ciencia y Tecnología (MINEDUCYT). The project began its actions in may 2021 and among its components is the Youth Development component, executed by Fundación Salvador del Mundo (FUSALMO).

It also has the support of DIGICEL, which has donated Internet connectivity to the six participating schools.

The event was attended by Alfonso Quiñónez, President of FRMA; Chris Cushing, Director of USAID El Salvador; Marcelo Alemán, CEO of DIGICEL; Gilberto Motto, representative of MINEDUCYT; and Oscar Delgado, representative of FUSALMO.

With the Youth Development component, access and training in technology has been provided to teachers and students in the new laboratories of the six participating schools. The labs are learning spaces where children and youth can develop the ability to identify, apply and integrate ways of thinking and doing through the STEAM approach (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics). This has directly benefited more than 3,800 students and 100 teachers who will replicate the model to reach more people.
