  • Description

    Description

    This is a non-governmental non-profit organization in the Patagonia, which aims to extend and link science and technology through projects with popular education in a social learning process.

    Our team, formed since August 2015, has begun to execute various projects, all being unified with the same vision: this is an indigenous word Selk-nam which means "LIFE", thus representing the essential, taking it out with the optimization of energies, the forms of collaboration, work schedules, human relations and combining it with the rhythms of today. Some our jobs are: Construction of low-power wind turbines to rural electricity, mechanics without fuel like "Bike- WashMachine", in Architecture design an Eko-Parke with industrial waste in the middle of the town and the construction of a dome only recycling industrial waste and natural materials.
