Pilot Phase

Humans

• Between 18 and 36 children aged around eleven. These participants must be divided into 2 or 3 groups with 9 to 12 members each. The groups must be distributed in different geographic points.
• From 3 to 6 facilitators. We require two distinct facilitator profiles. The first one is essentially a teacher, and we require one per center. The other one is more focused on technology, and we require at least one technical facilitator for every two centers (If they're close enough that the facilitator may easily travel between both).
• One network administrator to manage the servers.
• One monitor, to supervise this pilot phase, and report back on possible adjustments to be made to the program.
• Four developers of scripts and formats.
• One website administrator.
