Technology

We live in a world where technological advances are unstoppable — one in which personal and professional communication and relationships have been profoundly transformed by new technologies and advances in computing and social media. Those who experience these advances most intensely, because they have grown up alongside them, are children. They are therefore the ones with the greatest interest in and the best preparation for facing these changes and advances, participating in them, and even transforming them through their own learning.

For all these reasons, a technology camp in summer is a unique way to make the most of this moment and foster a rich technological education in the new generations. The technology activities included in this camp can be grouped into four modules:

• Robotics. Including programming of bq boards, building robots with Lego, and even assembling simple drones and taking part in robot competitions.
• Video game programming. Participants design their own video games using different programmes (Scratch) and languages (Python, JavaScript).
• 3D design and printing. One of the techniques children enjoy most is 3D printing, through which they will be able to design their own piece and take it home.
• Audiovisual projects. In which they will explore Stop Motion animation and virtual reality.

This technology component takes place for half a day, so that it can be combined in the best possible way with the other camp activities described below.
