Sateliot has formalised a collaboration agreement with UNESCO Santiago, the regional office for Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Central to the partnership is the Sateliot Impact Challenge, an ambitious training programme that will offer teacher training and education for young people in STEM fields and entrepreneurship. This will enable teachers to lead project-based learning. At the same time, young people will learn to design and implement innovative proposals to address real community problems.

The Sateliot Impact Challenge will launch its first edition in Latin America, starting in schools in Brazil and Chile. It will then expand to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, culminating in the BCN2026 Hackathon, where the most outstanding projects from each country will be presented. Through STEM and entrepreneurship training, access to an interactive platform, and mentorship support, the project aims to ensure that teachers and youth can participate fully in the global economy.

“This partnership empowers students in remote areas to acquire transformative skills essential for quality employment in the future. It’s a responsible and meaningful way for us to contribute to a more equitable world through the transformative power of education,” said Jaume Sanpera, CEO and co-founder of Sateliot.
