PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
Implement the contextualized teaching-learning strategy based on EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS, stimulating the scientific vocations of the participating students.
THE PROJECT:
The contextualized teaching-learning strategy based on EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS is a methodology developed by the UNIVERSITY OF IBAGUE, which is achieved through the identification of students who have the capacity for analysis, who, when applying the concepts of specialized education, are They train in ROBOTICS, while completing their final high school degrees, stimulating scientific vocations in the participating students. As a result, productive employment opportunities are created, improving access to sustainable sources of livelihood for young people who finish their high school cycle.
To date, since its implementation, more than 120 children in some municipalities of the department of Tolima have benefited from this teaching-learning strategy, through economic, physical and human resources and the collaboration of educational institutions.
