| description | This research aims to show the results of a systematization of early childhood education experiences carried out in La Felicidad public school between 2018 and 2023. This was an educational project based on the STEM perspective, within a context dubbed living classroom. The results evidence a pedagogical model connected by an experiential and situated perspective that fosters STEM education during early childhood by undertaking pro-environmental actions deployed from urban ecological contexts, within the framework of the natural sciences. This is an innovative, practical, and contextual alternative that also facilitates the interaction between the school and the community. The conclusions indicate that the STEM approach can be interwoven with environmental citizenship education processes in the formal education context by means of living classrooms, in order to foster an active and conscious commitment to the environment. This applies not only to early childhood, but also to other levels. In addition, this work highlights the importance of the aforementioned integration in children, given their disposition to explore the world around them, which constitutes a unique opportunity to incorporate concepts from the natural sciences, mathematics, engineering, and technology through the lens of environmental care. By promoting this union, the foundations for an ethically responsible citizenship are laid, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to environmental citizenship education, wherein educational processes are not limited to separate disciplines but also incorporate a holistic approach. |

El presente artículo de investigación tiene como propósito mostrar los resultados de la sistematización de experiencias llevada a cabo en el colegio público La Felicidad, en educación inicial, entre los años 2018 y 2023. Es un proyecto formativo dispuesto desde la perspectiva STEM, en un contexto denominado aulas vivas. Los resultados evidencian un modelo pedagógico conectado por una perspectiva experiencial y situada, que promueve en primera infancia la formación STEM mediante el desarrollo de acciones proambientales, desplegadas desde contextos urbanos ecológicos, en el marco de las ciencias naturales; una alternativa innovadora, práctica y contextual que además facilita el encuentro entre la escuela y la comunidad. Las conclusiones indican que el enfoque STEM puede entrelazarse con procesos formativos de educación en ciudadanía ambiental, en el ámbito educativo institucional formal, por medio de la creación de ambientes denominados aulas vivas, para fomentar un compromiso activo y consciente con el medio, aplicable no solo a la primera infancia, sino a otros niveles. Adicionalmente, se destaca la importancia que tiene dicha integración en los niños y niñas, por su disposición a explorar el mundo que los rodea, tejiéndose así una oportunidad única para incorporar conceptos de Ciencias Naturales, Matemáticas, Ingeniería y Tecnología a través del prisma del cuidado ambiental. Promoviendo esta unión, se establecen los cimientos para una ciudadanía éticamente responsable, resaltando la importancia de una orientación multidisciplinar en la formación en ciudadanía ambiental, en la cual los procesos educativos no se limiten a disciplinas separadas, sino a la incorporación de un enfoque holístico.
