DESCRIPTION
The students will work the contents of the Official Bulletin of the subject of Technology, Programming and Robotics of the 3rd level of SECONDARY SCHOOL
The projects that will do are:
- A game with which they will learn to program mobile applications
- A chat application in which they can send and receive messages between two Android devices
- Modeling and 3D printing of a set of pieces for the classic chinese puzzle Tangram
- An Arduino Maker project in which they will build a speed ramp.
- Through the Cisco Packet Tracer Network Simulator they will elaborate a simulation of a home automation.
Classes and learning are much more fun and effective, using active pedagogy with challenges, learning by discovery, teamwork and learning by doing.
