MóviLab (Moving Lab) was an educational strategy developed at Universidad Industrial de Santander, Colombia, to promote chemistry and science among schoolchildren and teenagers from far rural areas of the Santurbán moor in Colombia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The strategy consisted of designing a kit with chemistry experiments that could be done at home by the students. The kit was accompanied by a lab book and an easy-to-read manual where the basic principles and instructions for doing the experiments were described. Students were organized in hotbeds from each one of the participant schools to develop the activities in the educational kit and share their experiences and results with a scientific tutor and with their peers during periodical virtual meetings. Owing to this dynamic, students developed a feel for chemistry and scientific experimentation while improving their writing and oral communication skills.
