The Arribada Club, integrates STEM education with conservation technology to empower underserved communities to understand and protect their local natural environment. Through after-school programs in Príncipe (São Tomé and Príncipe), Maio (Cape Verde), and Laikipia (Kenya), children aged 10-12 learn basics in IT, programming, and engineering, then apply those skills and concepts to explore the workings of locally-relevant conservation technologies. Our students use GPS concepts, programming skills, 3D printers, 3D scanners, and micro-computers to understand various conservation devices. We collaborate with local NGOs to develop each Club’s curriculum, ensuring they align with local conservation needs such as habitat loss, biodiversity awareness, or species protection.  Since 2017, over 750 students have participated, with measurable outcomes in digital literacy and environmental knowledge, and more than half completing the 3-year program. The Club fosters community-driven conservation, with a globally-replicable model.
