Aimed at children enjoy learning robotics and manufacture robots with which to participate the next course in their technological competitions
The Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering of the UPCT has launched this year a new concept of summer school with the name "Technological Summer School of the School of Industrial UPCT and TALLIOT", which will allow children and young people of primary and secondary education each week design and manufacture a robot appropriate to their age with which they can participate the following course in the technological competitions that are held in this school, such as the FIRST LEGO League Junior and CARDUINO.
Among the various informative activities aimed at the learning of robotics, 3D printing, automotive prototypes, drones, etc for children and young people from educational levels prior to university studies so that they are organized in the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering (ETSII) of The UPCT, this year will also be held for the first time this Technological Summer School to promote interest in industrial engineering and contribute to the development of the intelligence and skills of these students.
The Director of the School of Industrialists, Patricio Franco, explains that "this Technological Summer School will be dedicated to learning about robotics, industry 4.0, prototypes, drones, 3D printing, etc., educational contents that are included in the curriculum of Academic qualifications in the field of industrial engineering This summer school will serve to awaken interest in these topics and learn to carry out the design of robotic systems appropriate to their age Once they complete secondary education, students who wish to specializing in robotics and industry 4.0 should enroll in academic degree and master degrees that are taught at the School of Industrial UPCT, as these degrees are those that allow training in these fields of engineering.
Ana Salmerón, responsible for TALLIOT and titled by the Industrial School, emphasizes that "it is an initiative that avoids the traditional methodology based on crafts, sports, film library and other leisure activities, and instead presents an innovative concept of summer school that focuses on practical training through playful and fun activities that include the complete cycle of design and manufacture of simple robots with which you can participate to the next course in the competitions that are held each year at the School of Industrial. "
"This initiative consists of a program of activities in which every week the students will develop a prototype with which during the following course they will be able to participate together with some of their classmates of school or institute and with the help of one of their professors in interesting competitions such as the FIRST LEGO League Junior in which the UPCT Industrial School collaborates and the CARDUINO technological competition organized by UPCT's own School of Industrialists, either directly with the prototypes that they have manufactured in this summer school or with some improvements that in his case they wish to add with the help of their professors ", adds Patricio Franco.
"The activities that are part of this Technological Summer School of the School of Industrial UPCT, include not only the design of prototypes for these technological competitions but also fun technological games, water games and workshops on 3D printing, drones, prototypes , etc.
Students who register for several weeks in this summer school, each week will move to a more advanced level and will be dedicated to manufacture more complex robots, acquiring more and more knowledge about these interesting topics in an entertaining way, "says Ana Salmerón .
The complete program with all the details related to the activities to be developed, size of the groups, dates and times, infrastructures, morning classroom and dining services, etc. and the registration form for the Technological Summer School organized by the Industrial School of the UPCT in collaboration with TALLIOT, are available at the following link: http://www.upct.es/destacados/cdestacados.php?ubicacion=general&id_buscar=9217
