Curiosity, innovation and hands-on learning have gone hand in hand in a unique experience that our students from Ed. Primary they will alwaysremember. A technological initiative that, beyond the classroom, has awakened in them a scientific outlook and a commitment to the future.
EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS: CONNECTING SCIENCE AND CREATIVITY
This year, our school has actively participated in RetoTech, one of the most outstanding educational innovation initiatives in Spain. The programme, which promotes the development of technological projects with real impact, has allowed our primary students to work in teams, research and design solutions to an exciting challenge.
Inspired by a news item warning of a possible meteorite impact on Earth, they decided to focus their project on creating a robotic system capable of protecting our planet. Over the course of several weeks, they analysed the problem, researched existing technologies and, using robotics kits, managed to build a working prototype that was successfully presented at the RetoTech Festival.
IB SKILLS AND COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS
This project has been about much more than technology. The students have developed fundamental IB Profile skills, such as reflective thinking, rigorous research, effective communication and global awareness. In addition, they have strengthened their ability to work collaboratively and their autonomy, facing a real challenge from a critical and proactive point of view.
The presentation at the RetoTech Festival was the finishing touch to this transformative experience, where they were able to share their work with other centres, explain their creative process and feel like protagonists of change.
At Casvi Boadila, through robotics, we demonstrate that our students not only learn content: they learn to think, create, question and build a better world. Find out more about our TPR department.
