Science

The staff at Jakmel Ekspresyon, are constantly asking what does the local educational system need. Where does it have deficiencies and how can we fill those needs? Science is taught in schools in theory only. There is only one school in Jacmel that has a working science lab. We are searching for ways to not only give practical science lab experiences and knowledge, but also how to make those practices relevant and fun for the local community. STEAM (science, technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) has been naturally developing from this community need and is changing the way youth view many local issues such as water pollution, sustainable energy and more.

JE has partnered with Dr. Carlie Trott and Dr. Trevor Even since 2018, to research the psychology of climate change education. What happens if you give the youth the support to create programming that is relevant to their community? We teach with a “what if” philosophy instead of a “what is” philosophy.
