An UC3M startup brings robotics to secondary school students.
Robotics is a multidisciplinary field that covers a variety of subjects
such as electronics, electricity, mechanics, telecommunication,
computer science...
To build any robot you need to create structures,
to develop a software, to put electronics components in…
And thanks to this tool that includes all these concepts
we are able to teach
part of this subjects
in a simple way.
In CREA Robótica Educativa
we offer training courses for students and teachers
with a strong technological content
in which we use innovative educational methods.
The three partners of CREA Robótica are PhD students at Robotics Lab,
a research group of the Carlos III University.
We work with the business incubator
of the Carlos III University Science Park.
Educational robotics help us
preparing today’s students
for a technological future that we are already experiencing.
It is breaking down barriers to learning.
This helps to reduce school dropout
and also to promote
the study of engineering, science…
We are using different innovative tools
in our classes.
We work with robotics,
mobile robots,
small electronics experiments,
small physics experiments,
mobile applications, 3D printing...
Our educational robotics main product is the ProtoCREA kit
designed to be used by secondary school students.
It is a modular kit
based on open source hardware
and entirely printed with 3D printers.
That is what makes it so easy to modify and customize.
In less than a year we’ve reached more than ten educational centres.
We have applied our teaching methodology
to support the subject of Technology, Programming and Robotics.
We have achieved this thanks to the extracurricular activities
and the training courses for teachers.
