Abstract
Abstract The pandemic produced by COVID-19 has forced a radical change in the strategies and methodologies used to share and transmit knowledge. With the schools / Universities' closure, the educational process changed radically from one day to the next. In particular, in several Latin-American countries, the quarantine conditions are extremally severe, limiting the movement of regular citizens and confining them to remain at home, only allowing them to get out for “essential ” activities. STEM-STEAM education, based on collaborative work, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, and project generation, encounters many obstacles. Students and teachers do not have access to laboratories, materials, and other essential supplies to implement a quality educational process. The present situation led to the formation of the group "Name of the Group." This team includes STEM-STEAM education professionals from several countries across the Americas. The “Name of the Group” is a voluntary team working with any monetary support. The “Name of the Group” goal is to develop alternative ways to promote quality STEM-STEAM education reaching students, parents, and teachers directly at their home. One of the initiatives designed by the “Name of the Group” is #LaHoraSTEAM. This paper will present the initiative. #LaHora STEAM is a public broadcast of one hour once a week – Saturdays to facilitate parents and children's interaction. Each broadcast, one team member, presents a “live” activity, generating interactivity with the audience. In parallel, other group members monitor the live chats to share the audience's participation and present their questions to the presenter and the rest of the team. All the activities presented in the live broadcast are possible to build using materials accessible at home! Prospect participants receive the information (time, access link, list of materials) through the Municipality of "City – Country," web presence. Also, the “Name of the Group" allied with the Municipality of “City – Country," to manage the live broadcasting logistics. After discussing the methodology implemented to produce #LaHoraSTEAM, data collected in the first 12 broadcasts will be presented, showing the impact of the initiative.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
