Costa Rica – CEDES Don Bosco Recognized in the "Map of Best Practices in Digital Education in the Americas"

San José, Costa Rica – March 2025 – The Innovation and Research Center for Learning (CI2A) at the Don Bosco Salesian Education Center (CEDES Don Bosco) has received recognition in the Second Edition of the Map of Best Practices in Digital Education in the Americas. The initiative, organized by the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) and ProFuturo, highlights the institution’s innovative approach to implementing programs such as STEAM education, Student Leadership, and the Learning and Research Resource Center (CRAI), which have played a key role in transforming digital education and strengthening students’ skills. 

The judging panel emphasized two key aspects of CEDES Don Bosco’s initiatives: their educational impact and their scalability and adaptability to different contexts across the region. From early education to the fourth academic cycle, the STEAM program has been a core part of student training, evolving continuously over the past eight years. In 2023, the institution introduced STEAM education into its Technical and Vocational Institute and transformed its traditional library into a collaborative and innovative learning space, promoting the integration of digital technologies. 

Over 100 students have actively participated in competitions, tournaments, and specialized training programs, earning international scholarships that have enhanced their technical and academic skills while deepening their expertise in emerging technologies. 

CI2A also serves as a "ColabOratory", a collaborative space where the CEDES Don Bosco educational community can learn, co-learn, and work together, ensuring that the legacy of its founder remains alive.
