Within the framework of public policies aimed at strengthening technological knowledge and the formation of replacement generation, the Ministry of Science and Technology (Mincyt), through the Foundation for the Development of Science and Technology (Fundacite) of the state of Monagas and with the support of the Center for the Development of Educational Quality (CDCE), carried out a training day to initiate robotics at the Lino de las Mercedes Valle Private Educational Unit, located in the city of Maturín.

This initiative, according to a press release, is part of the territorial deployment of the National Scientific Seed Program, a strategic plan designed to awaken early vocations in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) areas. The program seeks to articulate the national education system with the scientific innovation network, guaranteeing access to updated pedagogical tools that enhance analytical and creative abilities in boys, girls and young people.

The day offered a training experience that combined the fundamental theoretical concepts of electronics, computing and mechatronics with dynamics of direct technical experimentation. During the training, the students worked on manipulating and understanding integrated circuits, as well as programming and controlling actuators such as direct current (DC) motors, servomotors and stepper motors.

In addition, the training included the study of the interaction with the environment by reading data from photoresistors and ultrasonic, temperature and inclination sensors. The participants integrated these devices with visual interface components such as OLED screens, seven-segment displays, RGB matrices and LED lights, developing the programming logic necessary to issue precise digital instructions.

The practical development of the activity was supported by the assembly of components of the Ultimate 2.0 technological kit, a tool that allowed students to analyze the mechanical principles of motion transmission and structures.
