Gestamp Foundation, in collaboration with ASTI Foundation, launches RuralBOTic, a project aimed at generating opportunities in the rural environment through the development of technological talent of new generations. Five schools in the province of Burgos participate in this initiative in which a total of 202 students and 14 teachers will have the opportunity to get started in robotics and programming throughout the course.
Verónica Pascual, president of Fundación Asti, and Mónica Riberas, general director of Fundación Gestamp, have signed a collaboration agreement in which they ratify their commitment to continue building future through technological education. With this project, both entities join forces with a double objective: to promote digitalization among the youngest as a transformative tool, and to generate opportunities in the rural environment.
The program begins this November with the delivery of robotic kits to children and with training for the centers’ teachers. During the course, students will work on several projects that they will have to defend in a challenge at the end of the course. In this final event, participating schools will face a team competition in which they will demonstrate what they learned during the course.
As part of the project, students from participating centers They will visit the Edscha Burgos plant, of the Gestamp Group, in which they will be able to learn about the application of robotics in a factory in the automotive sector. This experience will allow them to connect theory with practice, seeing the relevance of STEM competencies in the industrial field.
Furthermore, the fact that the project is carried out in Burgos has a special meaning for the Gestamp Foundation, since the founder of the Gestamp Group, Francisco Riberas Pampliega, was born in Rabé de las Calzadas, the town where the event will take place. end of the project. The participating schools are Petra Lafont (Tardajos); Saturnino Calleja (Alfoz De Quintanadueñas), Diego Marin (Peñaranda de Duero), Fuentes Blancas (Burgos) and Fray Enrique Flórez (Villadiego)
