Guatemala ranks 134th out of 138 countries evaluated by the World Economic Forum in terms of quality of education in science and technology for primary schools. Juan took notice of this gap in education and hopes that his company, 1Bot will one day put Guatemala in the top 10 worldwide for the same indicator. 1Bot, A Robot for Every Child, is a social enterprise that seeks to bring Science, Technology, Engineering, Entrepreneurship and Mathematics (STEEM) education to the children of Guatemala, encouraging them to become technology creators and not just users of technology. 1Bot uses robotics and programming as tools for children to learn on their own in fun and inspiring learning environments. Juan is making great strides with 1Bot in the education system in Guatemala, already obtaining some of the most prestigious schools as clients.

With an effort to increase the quality of education for children in science and technology Juan launched 1bot an impact social enterprise providing science, technology, engineering, entrepreneurship, and mathematics (STEEM) to children in Guatemala to turn them into creators of technology. By 2020, Juan visions 1bot to impact more than 100,000 children in Guatemala, Central America, and the Caribbean.
