ROBOTICS WITH NIUEDUCA
We are continuing this activity for the fourth consecutive year with one of Barcelona's leading companies in technology and robotics education, adapting to the latest innovations in the field.
Students are at the center of their own learning, constantly challenged to solve different problems creatively and collaboratively using new technologies. This hands-on learning approach involves creation and trial-and-error, combining mechanics with programming. Working with their hands stimulates creativity, while programming develops analytical and logical-mathematical thinking.
Activities and projects are developed based on the LEGO Education methodology, allowing students to learn concepts in a fun and interdisciplinary way.
