The objective of the project is to change the perspec-
tive on mining in the new generations and inspire them to
achieve their dreams, and build their future in the sciences
and develop professionally in the mining sector contribut-
ing to the development of our country.
We have been developing the project since April
2022 in Cajamarca, Peru in the facilities of the Museo de
Agua y Tierra (MAT).
METHODS
In this chapter we dare to know our project activities car-
ried out using the Deming cycle methodology.
Deming Cycle Methodology
The Deming cycle methodology consists of four steps (Plan,
Do, Check, Act). This approach has provided us with a
sequential structure for our activities, facilitating planning,
execution, monitoring and continuous improvement of our
actions. (Illanes, et al. 2022).
Following the stages of the Deming cycle we have:
Plan
In this phase, meetings were held with the organizations
of the SME UNC Student Chapter, Newmont Yanacocha,
BRG Women and Allies and ALAC Yanacocha (Museo de
Agua y Tierra facilities). In this section we considered:
• The structuring of the “Building Our Future” project.
• Development of the project.
• Determination of the target audience.
• Activities to be developed in each day.
Do
In this phase, the planned activities were carried out:
Admission
Data verification and attendance of participants from the
different institutions.
Reception
All attendees are welcomed, and a form is filled out (entrance
survey) to learn about their perception of mining before the
day’s activities. In addition, groups are created and led by a
volunteer for the tour in the different environments.
Distribution
The groups start their tour in each interactive environ-
ment (duration 20 min), which are alternated until passing
through all the rooms.
Interactive Room
In this environment, activities on the earth, space, the
water cycle, minerals, electricity conductivity and various
interactive activities are developed, always guided by the
volunteers responsible for the group.
PLAN
• Identify your
problems
DO
• Test potential
solutions
CHECK
• Study results
ACT
• Implement the
best solution
