Tenaris fosters hybrid model for its educational programs PUBLISHED ON 01/13/2021 During 2020 COVID-19 forced many schools around the world to adopt a hybrid education model that combines on-campus and virtual learning worldwide. The educational programs supported by Tenaris in the communities where it operates were no exception. The AfterSchool program, which offers STEM activities for elementary school students in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Romania, United States and Uruguay, has been redesigned to offer virtual classes and STEM activities with local needs in mind. Teachers have been closely monitoring students throughout 2020, in order to keep them engaged and to help them face the challenges of virtual learning. In some locations, students were supported with telephones and cellular data plans.
