This Monday, at the facilities of the Convention Center Coworking space, with the presence of Mayor Francisco Azcué, the launch of the Concordia Robotics Club, Advanced Level, was held, an innovative proposal that continues to win the hearts of children from all over the city. So far this year, more than 100 participants have been part of this initiative. “We are going to continue investing in education and knowledge because that is the way to contribute to more opportunities and equality in our city,” remarked Azcué.
The Robotics Club is a playful learning space, where children from different neighborhoods learn robotics and programming while developing socio-emotional skills, such as communication and teamwork. In this new stage, more than twenty participants will have the opportunity to acquire advanced technological knowledge through the use of the Arduino board, in what is presented as a pilot test that will mark a new milestone in non-formal education in Concordia.
Currently, the Concordia Robotics Club operates in three locations: Coworking La Estación, Casa del Bicentenario, and NIDO Carretera La Cruz. This year, the program has expanded its reach with the goal of democratizing access to technological education, bringing opportunities closer to more children from different parts of the city.
Last week, the first five initial level cohorts finished, and this week the new ones begin, adding a total of ten cohorts: nine at the initial level and one at the advanced level. It is expected that, by the end of the year, more than 250 children will graduate from the program.
FACILITATING MUNICIPALITY
Mayor Francisco Azcué reaffirmed his commitment, announcing that “for next year, the opening of two new locations is planned, adding a total of five,” and stressed that “the municipality must always be a facilitator of these opportunities for its citizens.”
“We are going to continue investing in education, in knowledge because we want there to be more tools for all people. That is the way to contribute to there being opportunities and equality in our city,” he remarked.
The event was attended by the Secretary of Government, Dr. Luciano Dell´Olio; the Undersecretary of the Special Unit for Strategic Projects, Licentiate Leandro Garbarino; the Director of Innovation and Knowledge Economy, Licentiate Pedro Kohn; and the Coordinator of the Concordia Robotics Club, Licentiate Andrea Solari.
