Britabot: experiences with the Educational Robotics Seedbed

Abstract

This article presents the journey and experiences after the implementation of the Educational Robotics Workshop supported by Science and Technology ‘Britabot’ in a private rural educational institution in the city of San Juan de Pasto. There was an experimental group of 28 students, from the fifth grade of elementary school to the eleventh grade of high school, between 10 and 18 years old, and two teachers assigned to the school, to whom a training strategy was applied to strengthen their skills and competencies, through the use of the STEAM approach and tools and elements of educational robotics, which allowed them to guide their learning through constructivism and the development of a curriculum guide previously designed for the fulfillment of the objectives of the project. The qualitative research modality was used within a critical social approach applied in action research.
