Science is a fundamental human right, and this activity brings it to life during UNESCO MIL Week 2026 through Science Culture Construction. In partnership with the Andean Road Countries for Science and Technology and the Journal of Latin American Sciences and Culture, Biopochito AI and the Living Portal help children ask questions, examine evidence, and communicate responsibly. Together, we move from curiosity to action — because building a culture of science is a responsibility we all share. #WeAllPlayAPart
The following animals and cultural objects are central to this activity. Each one invites children and families to ask questions, examine evidence, and explore the connections between science, nature, and culture. Click on each link to learn more, watch the animation teasers, and continue your journey from curiosity to action.
Why Lake Titicaca? Because it is one of the most extraordinary places on Earth — a high-altitude lake that is simultaneously an ecosystem, a biodiversity hotspot, a cradle of human history and culture, a source of livelihoods, a site of Indigenous knowledge, and a living environment facing contemporary challenges. It allows children and families to experience science not as an isolated school subject, but as something deeply connected to life, culture, environment, society, and responsibility. Lake Titicaca becomes a living classroom where scientific questions and human questions meet.
To share this knowledge with the world, we use the Living Portal — an interactive knowledge and participation ecosystem that connects children, families, educators, and communities with scientific information, biodiversity resources, Indigenous and local knowledge, and cultural heritage. The Living Portal is not just a repository of information; it is a living environment where people can explore questions, examine evidence, and share knowledge responsibly across borders and generations.
