Abstract

In this paper, an educational model for competency based learning is proposed; this model is applied in some small cities in Colombia. For this purpose, a platform for robotic theater is developed to represent social problems. Furthermore, the Quemes robot, the VED EDR kit robotic kit and some kits of sensors and actuators are used. All of the components and robot used are Arduino-compatible. The model was successfully applied with the participation of about 200 participants. At the end of the learning process, the young participants are able to propose and create innovative solutions applicable to their regions.
