| The constant change in life requires new skills and competences to achieve success. As science and technology drive new realities and opportunities, it is important to boost and awake the interest in them from a very young age. Fundación Telefónica Chile is developing two related innovation programs in this field. On the one hand, the program "Community of Young Entrepreneurs" tries to get together teenagers with innovative ideas. On the other hand, the program "Community of Robotic Developers" has similar features and is centered in teenagers, but now focused in robotic projects. In both these communities, students have taken a course of 100 hours. After the courses, students from the two different communities are joined and grouped by ideas. Each group of young entrepreneurs is developing the business model of the idea while the group of robotic developers is creating its prototype. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact on the students' STEM skills after the project and to study the relationship between the technical and business competences. At present, the students have finished the courses and they are working on their projects. A competences pre-test was carried out at the beginning of the programs, and when they finish a post-test and a survey will be collected. Preliminary results are very encouraging. Students have shown a high implication in the programs, and they are working on innovative ideas. The combination of the Young Entrepreneurs with the Robotic Developers has created multidisciplinary teams with a high potential and positive results are expected in the STEM skills development. | |
