Ideobots: pensar, crear y resolver con diversión

Abstract

The growing technological wave of recent years has generated immediate reflections and changes in society, ranging from individuals to social sphere. This transformation has reshaped how the future is envisioned and how individuals must learn to live in a volatile reality. Consequently, the relevance of 21st-century skills has become increasingly evident, along with the need to implement new approaches that enable society to face the challenges of an uncertain future.In this context, the STEAM approach and computational thinking have become fundamental tools for responding to the rapid technological advances of our time, which are now present in everyday classroom environments. Robotics, in particular, emerge as an opportunity within learning settings, allowing students to engage with technology through interaction and practice, thereby fostering skill development from an early age. However, integrating robotics with the development of computational thinking and the STEAM approach within a segmented curriculum remains a challenge, as education continues to focus primarily on content and instruction.This project aims to provide students with an education mediated by the STEAM approach, promoting the development of essential skills for success in this process. It is crucial to exercise thinking through problem-solving, strengthening abilities such as creativity, teamwork, and communication. For this reason, the strategy “IDEOBOTS: Guardians of Thinking” is proposed, seeking to enhance skills related to computational thinking, teamwork, and gamification through both online and offline activities, thereby enriching learning processes in STEAM environments.
