Welcome to STEAMLand

At Erandi Aprende, we’re building STEAMLand alongside incredible partners. A land of open-ended, boundless learning where passion is the compass, connecting the digital and physical worlds. Here, curiosity thrives, and every inquisitive mind is equipped with the resources and community they need to bring their most incredible STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) projects to life.

Our impact extends far beyond our app. Since 2020, we’ve been working with partners to develop and deliver impactful STEAM education experiences for girls. We believe in the power of collaboration to empower girls and close the gender gap in STEM.

Problem

The gender gap in science and technology fields is evident, with less than 20% of women under 25 choosing careers in this area in Mexico [1]. In the United States, only 2% of the Information Technology workforce are Hispanic women [2].

Solution

We tackle these challenges by focusing on eliminating gender biases since childhood. According to UNESCO [3], by third grade, 9 out of 10 girls associate science and technology skills as masculine skills. Our mission is rooted in using technology for social impact, nurturing the unique interests of girls and boys, and preserving the “spark” of curiosity and creativity that defines childhood.

Erandi Aprende is a bilingual, AI-driven app that serves as a STEAM learning companion for boldly curious girls. We stand out for offering personalized learning experiences through conversations guided by our avatar and AI, Erandi*, and the development of projects, integrating the arts to foster creativity and socio-emotional development.

*Erandi is a name of Purépecha origin (one of the largest indigenous communities in Mexico) that means awakening or dawn. Erandi represents an awakening of women in science and technology.
