Ricardo Ramirez and volunteers

Leaders in Action: Ricardo Ignites Minds and Empowers Futures through STEM

Learn how one of our leaders supported a STEM volunteer effort to shape the next generation of leaders and uplift his community.

In a world where leaders are defined by their actions, engineering leader Ricardo Ramirez selflessly serves his community, making a positive difference through his dedicated efforts. Whether participating in environmental clean-up initiatives, constructing homes for families, or mentoring young students, Ricardo continuously seeks opportunities to uplift his community and inspire others. He recently teamed up with university students and Trane Technologies volunteers to provide a fun and engaging robotics lesson to students at a local elementary school. 

Empowering futures through STEM

I like to work on different projects to uplift my community.

Today we're working on our robotics training.

We assembled a group of volunteers to develop training material for kids from an elementary school located very close to our Monterrey operation.

What is unique about this project-- we have the opportunity to partner with a local  university.

We invited their engineering students to work with us to develop all the training and content.

They also make videos in order to show the students how to make the robot.

And also, we have a unique opportunity for the volunteers.

The Trane employees are teaching and coaching the university students in order to develop a project and to have a clear goal to make this happen.

The kids will be exposed to terms like mathematics, science, and engineering. They are going to be able to learn by doing.

That gives us the opportunity to perform and to work together in order to uplift our community.
