The exchange alumni planning team worked with Girl Scout leaders to develop a program that incorporated educational activities, ICT tools, and teamwork. Program participants, Girl Scouts and Brownies, ranging from seven to fifteen years of age, participated in workshops that enhanced their understanding of natural science, math, technology, and art. The girls worked with hands-on tools and games, plotting routes using GPS and maps, programming electric circuits to generate melodies, and using virtual games to explore the environment and mathematics.
After nine months of enriching workshops, the U.S. Ambassador to Panama, Jonathan D. Farrar, hosted a closing ceremony, acknowledging the success of the program.
