A total of 32 Primary and Secondary Education students participated in the final event, tasked with designing and implementing a robotic system to manage essential resources such as seeds, insecticides, and water. The goal was to optimize their delivery to cultivation plots to enhance agricultural efficiency.
This teaching innovation project, driven by the Institute of Cybernetics, Business, and Society of the ULPGC, has involved nearly 3,000 schoolchildren from Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, representing 76 educational centers in this latest edition. Since its inception in 2012, over 16,000 students and teachers have participated in the initiative, supported by the Canary Islands Government and the island councils.
Through practical robotics workshops, participants engage with science and technology, developing critical thinking and construction skills while having fun. The initiative also aims to raise awareness about the social and economic utility of these disciplines and their professional appeal.
