About Districalc

Districalc was founded in 1981 under the name Inversiones Wartenberg in Colombia. It initially focused mainly on the distribution of Hewlett-Packard calculators, but gradually grew to encompass teaching activities in the use of calculators.

Today Districalc participates in implementing a wide range of technological resources supporting generations of children throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, improving the learning environment through STEM educational technologies.

Our values

Four principles that guide every project we implement.

Act with Integrity

We do what is right, and we do it well.

We earn trust through transparency, respect and accountability. That commitment shows in how we treat people, in the quality of what we deliver, and in the service we provide every single time.

Strive for Better

We keep learning, improving and evolving.

We are curious and growth-minded. We seek evidence, ask questions and stay open to change, because educational technology never stands still.

Care for Community

We show up for our team and for those we serve.

We cultivate a culture of belonging within our team, alongside educators and in every school community across the region. We celebrate differences and invest in relationships that make us all stronger.

Educate on Climate and Renewable Energy

We teach today the challenges of tomorrow.

Climate change and the energy transition will define the immediate future of Latin America and the Caribbean. We bring hydrogen, renewable energy and climate science labs into the classroom so every student can understand — and help solve — the challenges ahead.
