Starting from a significant learning, the students when feeling motivated by seeing the daily applicability from what they are learning, they build scientific knowledge when reading and interpreting the meanings of technological concepts during the contextualization stage and when they carry out the robots assembly, which are mechanisms controlled by computer programs elaborated by the students themselves on the programming stage; the interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity are present during all the project development phase. This project is implemented believing on the necessity of developing the students’ values, skills and competences, so as they can continue learning during their whole life and not only at school.
