Children participating in this edition will enter a world of new technologies and enjoy learning with dynamic, participatory and practical classes at the hands of specialized monitors from telecentres. They also know the possibilities that city telecentres offer. These are completely free workshops In which children registered in the city’s telecentre participate.
In these sessions they work on 4 fundamental aspects namely ‘Augmented Reality’ (through a technological device they view a real world environment which is combined with virtual elements to create ‘mixed reality’ in real time), ‘robotic crafts’ where they build objects with their own hands from various materials; ‘Scratch’ (Visual programming language focused on fostering creativity and logical thinking.
