Generación Tec

What Generación Tec does

Generación Tec is a private Peruvian educational technology organization headquartered in the Chacarilla del Estanque district of Surco, Lima. Its core business is the design and delivery of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) and maker education programs for K-12 schools, educators, students, and families in Peru. The company's offerings span four pillars: (1) B2B services including teacher training workshops, STEAM classroom and Maker Space 2.cero implementation (space design, equipment supply, curriculum integration, and pedagogical support), and computer science curriculum consulting aligned with international standards; (2) international program stewardship, where Generación Tec operates Bebras Peru (computational thinking challenge reaching nearly 10,000 students since 2023), Code Club (Raspberry Pi Foundation network of programming clubs), the Mi Primer Dispositivo/Superpoderes digital citizenship program (Power of Zero partnership), and the do your:bit challenge (micro:bit Educational Foundation, launching in Peru in 2026); (3) consumer-facing maker education through the Espacio Maker physical facility in Surco, which hosts Club Maker workshops for ages 8-14 and adult/family maker sessions; and (4) hardware distribution via the Pi Box e-commerce store (thepibox.pe), where the company serves as the official Peruvian distributor of Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, Elecfreaks, Cytron, seeed, and Argon 40 educational technology products.

The underlying technology stack is built on mainstream educational hardware and block-based programming tools rather than proprietary AI or software platforms. Core technologies include micro:bit and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, 3D printing, and the Microsoft MakeCode programming environment used in workshops and teacher training. The company's intellectual property consists primarily of localized Spanish-language content (Los Héroes de Cero animated series, CALMA methodology toolkits) and the curation/adaptation of international computational thinking curricula to Peruvian educational standards.

The revenue model combines professional services fees (workshop tuition, STEAM implementation projects, teacher training, consulting), hardware resale margins through Pi Box distribution, and ancillary community event revenue. Pricing is unit-based and modest in scale, exemplified by the Chicos Makers workshop at S/250 for four sessions and the lamp workshop at S/120 for two participants. The customer base comprises more than 10 named institutions across the Peruvian K-12 segment, including MINEDU (the Ministry of Education), elite private schools such as Markham College and Colegio Casuarinas, and networks such as Fe y Alegría. The company operates with a small team (1-10 employees) and has not disclosed external funding, suggesting it is currently independently operated with limited monetization of the international programs it stewards.

Direct peers

• Raspberry Pi Foundation: UK-based nonprofit promoting computing education through low-cost hardware and Code Club. Generación Tec is its official Peruvian partner for Code Club, with closely aligned mission and overlapping educator community.
• Micro:bit Educational Foundation: Global nonprofit behind the micro:bit microcontroller, running the do your:bit challenge. Generación Tec distributes micro:bit hardware in Peru and runs the local do your:bit program — an effectively identical STEAM-computing mission.
• Bebras International: World's largest computational thinking challenge organizer. Generación Tec operates Bebras Peru and shares the same mission of scaling computational thinking across K–12 students.
• Power of Zero: International nonprofit behind the CALMA methodology and Superpoderes program for children's digital citizenship. Generación Tec implements Power of Zero's curriculum in Peru — same audience, same content, same mission.
• Scratch Foundation: MIT-hosted foundation behind Scratch, the world's most widely used block-coding platform for kids. Pursues the same computational-thinking-from-early-years mission as Generación Tec's Club Maker and Code Club programs.

Broad incumbents

• Code.org: Large US-based nonprofit delivering K–12 computer science curriculum and the Hour of Code globally. Operates at vastly larger scale but pursues the same K–12 computational thinking and STEAM adoption mission as Generación Tec.
• LEGO Education: Global STEAM and maker-education provider offering classroom kits, lesson plans, and teacher training. A much larger incumbent in the same K–12 STEAM-implementation category Generación Tec serves.
• Tynker: US-based K–12 coding and computational thinking platform with school licenses and curriculum. A broader incumbent offering a digital alternative to the workshops and maker programs Generación Tec runs in person.

Emerging players

• Kano Computing: Maker-style computing kits and STEAM learning products for kids. Smaller commercial player with overlapping maker/STEAM focus, though operating globally rather than regionally.

Regional players

• Fundación Kodea: Mexico-based nonprofit promoting digital skills and computational thinking across Latin America. Closest regional peer to Generación Tec in mission, geography, and school-deployment model — operating in Mexico rather than Peru.
