This school in #Guatemala teaches something else. #school #shorts" (posted 2025-12-16) featuring a single speaker describing an educational program in Guatemala where 6th-grade students undertake community projects—identifying a family in need, obtaining permission, planning across classes, and building a stove for that family. The clip highlights hands-on, community-focused curriculum and student-led project work.

Chapters

So by integrating these concepts into the curriculum, the students are now going out into the community and building these projects. Students have gotten really good at this. It's really amazing to see a group of 6th graders identify a family that needs a stove, walk into that family's house, get permission from the family to do it, go back to the classroom and decide how they're going to do it, and it's divided up between all of the major courses and then go out and actually build that stove.
