Desarrollo de competencias STEM mediante la programación de modelos de auto-organización

This article presents an educational proposal based on the computational implementation of a model of interaction between particles of different types, as a tool for the development of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills. The mathematical formulation of the model, the equations governing particle interaction, the interaction matrix that governs collective behavior, and a complete pseudocode of the simulation algorithm are detailed. The article discusses how this interdisciplinary project enables students to apply and connect knowledge from physics, mathematics, programming, and systems thinking, fostering skills such as computational thinking, mathematical modeling, and understanding of complex systems.
