Postgraduate specialization course in robotics and emerging technologies in basic education

The emergence of initiatives for the integration of ICT and Computer Sciences in the first years of schooling reinforces the need for qualification of basic education educators and teachers in the domain of the use of digital technologies and, in particular, of robotics. In this context, the course aims to: develop the educators’ skills to make and adapt learning scenarios using digital technologies and educational robotics; facilitate the widespread use of digital educational resources in basic education, namely through the creation of applications and their responsible use in the programming of tangible objects (robots and drones). The course activities will take place at IE-ULisboa' Digital MakerSpace, a space for the development of educational activities using educational robotics, 3D printing, video production and editing.
