School of Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence
The training resources included here help teachers to develop skills and competencies in terms of Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence. They encompass the concept of Computational Thinking and its importance in relation to technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, which will have a dramatic impact in the coming years. At the same time, they enable crossover learning and develop critical thinking, creativity and soft skills.
Teacher participating in this school can use in the classroom the set of thought processes for information processing, which are necessary in the digital era for problem solving, applied to various knowledge areas.
Resources from the School of Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence
Computational Thinking
In this proposal made up three itineraries or pathways, computational thinking is considered the sum of a set of thought processes, skills and attitudes that will provide the opportunity for children and young people to break the existing digital and social divide.

Robotics: Electronics and Mechanics
Introductory course to digital electronics using free tools. An introduction to a range of standard sensors and actuators is given, as well as a review of typical projects.
Learn more
Robotics: Communications
This course is the second part of the course “Robotics: Electronics”, so work will continue on connectivity. The emphasis is on the advanced use of the serial port, how to make a cross connection between two Arduino boards, what baud rate is, the RS232 standard for making multiple connections. Finally, it discusses what a protocol is.

Robotics: Interaction with the Physical World
Third part of the training received in the courses: “Robotics: Electronics and mechanics” and “Robotics: Communications”. In this last part of the ROBOTICS courses there will be some materials or techniques that we will only use in more complex projects, once the programming, communications, and programming techniques with Arduino have been mastered.

Ground Robots
This course is designed to introduce teachers to the operation of a children’s robot called Bee-Bot. It takes the form of a bee and uses a very simple programming language, which tends be students’ first contact with programming.

Scratch Jr.
This is a course designed to introduce our students to a very simple programming language, which can be their first contact with programming. Scratch Jr. allows you to create interactive stories without the need to know how to read, as the blocks are graphic, and thanks to them, students will be able to make the characters move, jump, dance, and sing.
