La Salle Campus Barcelona-URL participates in the new edition of the "Professors i Ciència" program promoted by the Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera with a program of robotics in the classrooms whose registration will be open until the 20 places are exhausted. The Professors and Science program offers training to secondary school teachers in Catalonia to help improve their ongoing training and specialization and encourage the stimulation of scientific vocations in the students.

The course of La Salle-URL, Robotics in classrooms: solving problems and learning of scientific and technical competencies, STEAM Social (S2TEAM), presents the current state of the sector from the academic and business approach of the use of Robotics to education and details resources and methodologies to implement educational and social robotics at the service of any curricular subject.
