The initiative was coordinated by the Directorate of Innovation and Knowledge Economy, belonging to the Undersecretariat of the Special Unit for Strategic Projects of the Municipality of Concordia.
The meeting was attended by more than 60 students from NINA schools No. 4 “Manuel José de Lavardén” and No. 69 “Malvinas Argentinas”, who carried out various challenges together with the competition team of the Concordia Robotics Club.
At the end, recognitions were presented to all participants in a spirit of camaraderie and shared learning.
In this regard, the Director of Innovation and Knowledge Economy Pedro Khon pointed out that “this is what it is about, learning by playing, which is a great descriptor for this club, whose best asset is the children and their teachers. The team ends up expressing itself in these types of activities that arise spontaneously with enthusiasm, where things are done and thought out. This is not just this activity, but a strategic vision for the city in which we hope that in the next 15 years robotics will be a giant industry,” he noted.
Likewise, Kohn maintained that “we hope that the ventures will transform into companies based on this talent where we have many children; some are going to study mechatronics engineering and with that the city grows. The municipality is an important player but it must provide space and enable institutions to work; therefore, what we are doing is giving that first push so that this comes to life, but in the end, it is society itself that will drive mechatronics.”
For her part, the coordinator of the Robotics Club Andrea Solari highlighted: “It occurred to us to hold a friendly match so that the children are encouraged to compete before another tournament that will be the UTN Congress. It is a nice way to bring them closer to the school and also to connect with them. The children put all their enthusiasm into being able to win it. They were programming together with the supervisors who belong to the Robotics Club.”
Meanwhile, she stressed that “it is important that they commit to learning everything related to robotics, which is a very broad universe because it is programming, mechanics, and electronics. We have children who are Mechatronics students at UNER and there is one who is also a teacher with us. It is fundamental to work together with the universities, where today we updated the mutual work agreement.”
At the event, the signing of the renewal of the framework agreement between the Municipality of Concordia and the Faculty of Food Sciences of the National University of Entre Ríos (UNER) was also celebrated. The agreement reinforces the commitment so that students of the Mechatronics Engineering degree program can serve as assistants and develop their “Socio-educational Practices” in the Robotics Club space.
